It stirs thoughts inward
these quiet moments of lunacy
or is that        lucidity
that is inhaled by the mind?
Voices speak in tongues
to empty shells
void of hearing
or understanding reasons,
  while reasoning with same.
Or rather, would that be
the insane that
comprehend only
an internal rhyme
that has been harbored
throughout time
until screams are diminished
and all that is left
are the sounds of self
inhabited in the consciousness
of madmen and echoes...


The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Oh good lord, yes.  I understand that.

this carries a haunting feel to it, you've captured your subject very well - excellent.

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