Soft as a whisper It slips away Unexpected Unwanted Followed by thundering silence All consuming, overwhelming (breathe in ... breathe out) Seeking comfort in the gently rhythmic rise and fall of the chest searching for answers in the cracks in the ceiling Haunted by what might have been. (inhale, ...exhale) To the taunting silence whispered goodbyes are my reply As tears wash clean my soul of sadness and regret nestled safely in the comforting arms of darkness releasing fears of inferiority and insignificance to retreat once again to comfortable solitude (just .. breathe) The artist is nothing without the gift, |

themute -- isn't that more of a timing and counting out of paranoia than just listening to the breaths? or was that just me? *grins* thanks for reading Sheli The artist is nothing without the gift, |
