When

When you cry for an hour
Under an empty sky
When you crave a star
To tell the day
When the silence overwhelms

When you stand for an hour
Under rain clouds
When the world becomes opaque
And colours fade
When greyness is the morning too

When you’re cold for an hour
Standing on deep ice
When thoughts slowly cease
And life freezes
When time is only the past

When each desires but an hour
