(This is part of my 30-poem reflective memoirs of my early years in Colorado I've titled "The Language of Wildflowers", which explores my metamorphosis from a sad, hopeless boy to a happy, optimistic person now!

This is the most frightening one in the set, where as a little boy I endured endless nights of heartbreak as I had terrible epilectic seizures and nightmares that almost killed me, and I was depressed and felt the devil was possessing me and wanted to do nothing but torture me!

After frequent, seemingly neverending hospital visits and Tegretol medication, the nightmares and seizures have all went away and never come back for nine years now and have been replaced with beautiful dreams about my dream girl and rainbows and butterflies and unicorns, yay! )

Hush Hush
(The Language of Wildflowers: Adonis Vernalis)
By: Noah Eaton

Repose can wait another night,
Survival is nothing more than recovery,
I’m tempted to chew my leg off,
To sunder myself from the devil’s depravity…

CAN'T YOU SEE ME GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS,
BARREL ROLLING IN A ROLLER COASTER GOLGOTHA,
I SCREAM FROM MY LUNGS BUT THERE’S NO COMMOTION
My wonder portrays before me as a cinderblock Cinderella…

Each night’s a reoccurring episode,
The synopsis is my arms are broken, my eyes blurred
“Oh mockingbird, have you ever heard,
Words I’ve never heard”
And the devil tells me, “Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”
“Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”

What is it with me that insists they pull me down,
Through parties of head choppers and hydraulics?
Mornings go by and in my wake my doubt eclipses me,
In this garden we call life am I the marble orchard?
(IT CAN'T BE!)

CAN'T YOU SEE ME GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS,
BARREL ROLLING IN A ROLLER COASTER GOLGOTHA,
I SCREAM FROM MY LUNGS BUT THERE’S NO COMMOTION
My wonder portrays before me as a cinderblock Cinderella…

Each night’s a reoccurring episode,
The synopsis is my arms are broken, my eyes blurred,
“Oh mockingbird, have you ever heard,
Words I’ve never heard”
And the devil tells me, “Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”
“Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”

I hear them say, “Submit yourselves therefore to God,
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”
In my nightmares there’s no sky, there’s no amnesty,
The devil mangles my larynx, what can I do?

CAN'T YOU SEE ME GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS,
BARREL ROLLING IN A ROLLER COASTER GOLGOTHA,
I SCREAM FROM MY LUNGS BUT THERE’S NO COMMOTION
My wonder portrays before me as a cinderblock Cinderella…

Each night’s a reoccurring episode,
The synopsis is my arms are broken, my eyes blurred,
“Oh mockingbird, have you ever heard,
Words I’ve never heard”
And the devil tells me, “Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”
“Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”

(GOD, CAN YOU HEAR ME,
I WANT TO TOUCH YOU,
SEND THESE CURSES AWAY!)

Hurry and teach me these words I’ve never heard,
Before my heart is severed,
And my life’s all out of words,
And an angel in disguise says, “Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”
“Hush hush, little one,
Don’t say a word!”

"You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

Oh, Noah, how horrible those times must have been for you. I felt a tightness in my chest and a lump in my throat as I read of your ordeals.

Thankfully, one of your kindred feather ~ an angel ~ came to your side. Hush, Angel Boy ~ don't you cry. All your troubles will fly away with the mockingbirds.
