Standing Tall against the wind

  

Those binary fragments, scattered and torn,

Divide the hearts that once were one;

While hesitant words, from silent throats,

Rise like shadows beneath the sun.

Some voices echo, some disappear,

Half-received, half-buried in the night;

We lose ourselves in endless numbers,

In statistics stripped of human light.

How long shall we wander, seeking the core,

Of truths left trembling behind closed doors?

With unfinished dreams between four walls,

And unanswered cries upon our floors.

Do you not dream of the endless blue,

The sky that shelters me and you?

For beneath its vast and timeless breath,

We remain until our final step.

Our fleeting likes shall fade away,

But what we choose shall forever stay.
