La nuit 22:22
-Marmonnant dans les rues de la ville- Rain fills in the path-flaws Streets flow out whatever which way Daylight hours shift by a people’s petition From a city present and past future The basket strains under emptiness Holding on fiercely to the chair Maintain a cycle unsustainable For a fear of a slip into the deep Distant voices can still deafen With echoes resonant and harsh Limping along after those painful missteps And those scars while faint can still be discerned The moon-eye pierces through the vapours Constellations merge with the window-lights Roads lead me onward toward the great beyond Yet a step bound eastward means five more westward -Les ténèbres englobent les bois- {En français par choix délibéré. La voix masculine pose des questions introspectives. La voix féminine fait des déclarations désobligeantes.} {French was chosen deliberately. The male voice asks introspective questions. The female voice makes disparaging declarations.} -Voici, la dame au clair de lune- Behold, the Lady of the Moonlight All hail the Queen of the Night Sky’s Sun I illuminate the velvet firmament And amongst the many stars, I’m the only one. I see your heart’s been in shadow for too long And an ocean of sorrow in your eyes So I’m reaching out and beckoning you To my chamber eclipsed by the skies

Whatever moonlight was still there provided somewhat of a guide. However, the internal thoughts veered from introspective questioning to lingering echoes of painful words. Soon the thought train got more abstract to comprehend yet remained complementary to the cold wilderness.

But just when it was about to reach a feverish peak, a powerfully luminescent apparition appeared before me. The darkness, both internal and external, dissipated at the presence of a beautiful woman. With great majesty and elegant grace, she declared herself to be the Lady of the Moonlight. I was humbled and honoured that out of all souls wandering the earth, she could see what I was carrying within. Furthermore, she invited me to enter her celestial realm and from there, it was to be ...
