a well or feeling un-whole
   the bottomless side of a coin drop
that wishes never hear,

   in silent freefall


a still, so silent and cold
   inwhich we confide, become lost in
and find every fear ...

   hid beyond it's wall


to face it's persistant gaze
   we first need to dream
allowing us to set
   a volume to our mind
which hides what we maze

   and place out of reach,
inside such a scream

the hidden truth for someone else to find

   ... hid within us each


In rhythms to a rise the days shall follow ... each Yesterday, each Tomorrow.   -  Ct/05

ctowen- Your style is very fresh and honest. You describe the journey within quite well.
I enjoyed the lines:
"a still, so silent and cold
   inwhich we confide, become lost in
and find every fear ...

   hid beyond it's wall"
but I think you missed a space between in and which in inwhich. So much is told in your cryptic verse.  I enjoyed reading

Yo Ctowen,

Be careful of that screaming stuff.  You're bodering on the truth.  We'll have none of that here.
