A Sweet Refrain

Sentinel Island - Haven

Alone and isolated once more, Gonyaul resigned himself being at attention. He lowered himself to the cold stone floor and curled up tightly to embrace any warmth he could contain or generate. To distract himself from the cold, hunger, thirst and loneliness he began to form lyrics in his head. They soon turned into a song that his tired voice began singing out loud. It had a lullaby like quality to it, ethereal and haunting. Those that were near his place of confinement would be able to catch it dancing in the night air.

In the shadows of a silent moon,
Love's melody, a haunting tune.
Whispers of your name, a tender art,
Lost in memories, etched on my heart.

In the quiet, echoes remain,
Love's refrain, a sweet refrain.
Lost in thought, forever in you,
A melancholy love, tried and true.

Wandering through the twilight's grace,
Chasing echoes, your lingering trace.
A love that lingers in the silent air,
Lost in reverie, a bittersweet affair.

In the quiet, echoes remain,
Love's refrain, a sweet refrain.
Lost in thought, forever in you,
A melancholy love, tried and true.

Moonlit tears on petals fall,
Whispers of a love enthrall.
In the echoes of our silent plea,
Lost in thought, you're all I see.

During the last verse, his voice began to trail off as consciousness was drifting from him. It soon stopped completely as he had passed out into an exhaustion induced sleep.
