welcome to the official myspace area of
K o m n a S

Voices, loved and idealized, of those who have died,
or of those lost for us like the dead.
Sometimes they speak to us in dreams;
sometimes deep in thought the mind hears them.
And with their sound for a moment return
sounds from our life’s first poetry—
like music at night,distant, fading away.
