Dust settles between this continental divide
I, on one end, a fleeting candle wick
Burning slowly, hopelessly against this cold
And time, like fallen clouds,
Does everything to hide the sun.
I practice dancing to sounds of silence
Distances become all too familiar
and like melted wax, I fall to the floor
hoping that before you walk away
you will break this barricade of silence
that time has built around us
