A Silent Cry from Beyond

I lie here in my enclosed cell
I am sleeping
The constant tread of people’s feet
The tired cry of people’s weep
These will not awake me
My slumber is deep
And my cell is dark
No light ever ventures here

I lie here in my enclosed cell
I am dreaming
Dreaming of the life I once lived
The time I wasted on triviality
This does not trouble me
My slumber is peaceful
And my cell is dank
No air flows through here







I lie here in my enclosed cell
I am waiting
Waiting for the beginning
Of what some think is the end
This does not enlighten me
My slumber is distant
And my cell is cold
No heat ever reaches here

I lie here in my enclosed cell
I am crying
Crying for people forgotten
Cells that are now looked over
This does not disturb me
My slumber is obtuse
And my cell is detached
No one ever visits here
