I walked through a woods
And met a boy crying
His tears fell like stone
His hands held a poem

When he reached his country it was already founded
When he crept to his earth they had already grounded

Left during the day
Dreamt during the night
No idea it was the other way round
When superstition breaks down
And hopes seem to fail me
I try to look straight at what it is

As he tried to stand once again
I looked away and looked back
And the boy was old, his hands shrivelled
Face bewildered
Looking to the clouds for a final ray of sun
He tried once, twice he could not stand again
The day he had done it all was to end

wow I really love this alot.
The images and all just bring me, in few words, to know him, and hurt for him.

Excellent,

Always, Alyssa
