silence.
through a screen of words
there is silence
yelling loudly
into my being
filling me
with a longing
i thought i'd left behind
with my youth.
my youth...
when time was simply
complicated.
and now, i find that
simplicity
is no more.
complex is the heart--
and mine
too easily drifting
into its self-made snares
while leaning heavily
upon a glimpse
of possibility...
silence.
there is silence
hovering above a box
i choose to fill
with the very heart of me.
holding little back.
saving nearly nothing
for myself,
should i fall
alone
into my tears
at the bottom
of silence...

Don't fall alone sweets.

Its best to fall together.

Even if its just in dreams.

Wow!! This just reached in
and grabbed my gut!

"silence.

I know that silence...and I know the box...
This one runs deep, poet friend of mine...
Awesome write!

Love ya,
