There he throws his gaze

There he throws his gaze

full of shock and amaze 

seeing a labyrinth, a maze 

That leaves the spirit in a haze

colors there are pelting 

across the mountains and welting 

the huge clouds then melting 

and just like tissue, felting

light, there, was seated 

prostrating on the grass he pleaded 

to get the sleep he much needed 

and that was by city impeded

water, there, had fragile wings 

wrapped in invisible strings 

preventing him from enjoying flings 

and taking him to the cups of kings 

the fog, there, deep in sorrow 

closed his eyes unable to follow 

that bird piercing like an arrow 

his flesh leaving a big hollow

Wind, there, finally found a remedy 

to end misery and tragedy 

dawn breeze, an eternal melody 

that preserves the moment's rhapsody 

and as the sea set ablaze 

putting mankind in a daze 

there he fixes his gaze 

full of shock..... and amaze
