Silent thoughts
of forgotten acquaintances
once dormant
with neither whispered breath
nor sigh to hear
rise up to haunt me
in demoniacal persevere
crushing my essence
as the tentacled arm
of cephalopod
pulling me
to the cold black watered canyons
far removed
from seashore’s esplanade
I strain to hear
to comprehend their silent thoughts
but in the darkness
of the void
their cacophony drowns out all sound
and then I realize
it is in the darkness
I shall be found.

Those darn reflections of the past -- need they haunt us always? Interesting idea, when you speak I shall be found in the dark, it makes me think rather that it is in the definition of our past that the definition of our being will be found. For me, I hope that it will be the most recent past which shall be evaluated, and that it will be remembered that I tried.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
