“Can you hear me?”

My voice echoed through the dark dark darkness

But no answer pierced the black curtain

And I stood there

Just as I had all my life…waiting,

Waiting…waiting in vain.

The outside had no answer

And the inside no voice

And I stood there

Just as I had all my life…waiting,

Waiting…waiting in vain.

And the answer waited too…bidding its time, bidding the wait, bidding the life.
