Have your emotions been scalded? Are you numb to touch? Can you not see the falling petals? Can you not smell the scent of flowers? Can you not hear the crying of the young ones, and the wailing of the old? Are you blind to beauty and disdain?
Yes, I cannot understand these things. I feel as if there was a shard of glass within my head. It dulls my mind's eye. It bothers with my thinking. I no longer know what is before me. I can see no further than an arm's reach. It has been too long since I last looked. Too long since I last thought. Too long since I bothered.
I walk in the shadow of the woods. I hear not the singing of the birds. The roses have no colour, the dew does not sparkle. The river are still, its creatures lifeless. They return my gaze with hollow eyes, my words with screeching silence.
I was found with my palms before my eyes, and my ears covered in despair.
One day, I will speak to the earth once more, and hear its whispers. I will see and understand.
