The silence breaks unto the sky
A thunderclap of realization
The turmoil of the youth
Has fallen below
The Beckoning of a lone wolf
Is now your only voice?
The ivory keys of forever are being played so eloquently
The notes form into a melody that is life
Chartreuse photos of forgiveness are in pieces
The torrential down pour has begun
Inside you own turmoil manifests from that monster in the closet
All the underlining sentences come together
The paths are becoming like the cobra, forever winding
Yet a path must be chosen
The night plays with the starry-eyed
No longer colouring outside the lines
No longer skipping class
Lines forming on your cheeks
In the pitiful slumber the lamb does lay
Hidden away in the back of your mind
Cultivating a soul of epic proportions
The lacklustre performance haunts the daylight
Dreaming of the moment your head hits the pillow
Unable to speak the truth
Yet knowing it must come to fruition
Only finding that bed of nails
No longer able to watch those cartoons
No longer able to laugh aimlessly
Comprehending the speech of immortality
Becoming deaf in the process
Everything seems to be fading
Is wisdom really worth this price?
In the aftermath of tomorrow
The day does come to bloom
Leaving only the silence
Eternity is knocking at the door
Do you answer the call of death?
Or hold tightly to ignorance
Wishing to be young again
In your blissful state of nothingness

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Now for a shameless plug.

Look for:
Life by Candlelight: The evolution of a poet.

To be on shelves soon.

You have all been a great inspiration, you critiques and support have gotten me to the point I am today.

Thank You.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

I am familiar with this place you speak of and the feelings.  Congratulations on the book of poetry.

Wonderful write!!
Hey!  I'm in Canada....what stores???
I can't wait to see the book..what's the name?
Hugs and congrats~Nancy

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

Thank you, SEA. I am glad that you enjoyed the poem.
Thank you, Martie. It is a place that we are all far too familiar with.
Thank you, aujussy wolf. I am happy that you like it.
Thank you, Marge Tindal.
Thank you, Enchantress. My publisher is looking to get them into Indigo and Coles. There will not be that many copies, but at least it is a start.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
