Dad,
Dirges are songs with wet lyrics
Emerging with broken voices and endless void,
When the earth swallows a soul
And memories are engraved in the passing wind

Dad,
The colors in the sky fades
When the news broke
—The eyes could weep now
And the voice could sing the Willow song

Dad,
The papers are cowards
Too sacred to embrace the kisses of the pen
—For written alphabets
Are too earthy to express ghostly thoughts

Dad,
My heart breaks
My thought shakes
My mind fades,
—My morn might not wake

Dad,
I swore an oath with the colours
To reveal the secrets mirrors couldn't unravel
It showed me nothing, and hugged me
For I was bleak— I'll fade soon

Dad,
Can I tell you a secret?
Adanna!— He told me a secret
—He didn't die 
For he was never alive

Dad,
What happens when the Ravens surrounds
A man with shattered thoughts?
What happens when the vultures watches
A man crawling in the land where foods and water are scarce?
—Does the end come riding with death?

Dad,
I'm lost- for I wander like a man of no name
Whose sanity was sold without his consent
I'm drowning, for I wallow in this dark sea of depression
And my thoughts are like blown ashes
For they never become whole even when I tried

Dad,
I end with silence on my lips.
