Gone (6th edition)

Pensively composed by Denis Toh (Date: 28th June 2005, Time: 7.42pm)

Slow whirlwind, silent thunderstorm

Breezeless tempest and unforgiving wave

I failed to save what I should have!

The rains came and came

And extinguished my livid flame.

As I looked beyond the horizon at the ocean rock

A stream of tears flowed in shock.

On desolate hazy morning shore,

Weeping , I stood amidst the roar

Of a self-tormented seashore.

From afar, I heard her sweet voice of melody

Alas, it was nothing but memory.

My hope to be with you had flown away

In a night and in a day,

In a vision or in none,

Therefore it was forever gone!
