Prayer For Nothing

Canaan

Thousand are the words

As I close my eyes

and drown in my little

prayer for nothing



Like dust dissolving in a water

too deep, too cold, too dark

I paint a pale imitation of happiness



With the weak brushes of

passing desires

I portray the thousand pale signs

and the thousand bright years

wasted after the illusion

of a NO MEANING life



While everything disappears

like a child begging for mercy

I close my eyes and save

a last prayer for nothing



Waiting for an end that

never comes.
