Echoing silence

Days that went by were erased. Just
one moment where I left
mysefl behind.

Long lost are the seconds of
yesterday. And as I sit here trying
to tell of regret, I find depth
in knowing not all is laid
upon my feet.

I look over the night sky as the
words sing inside my ears. Tiny
tendrils drip ringed lyrics deep
within my heart.

My mind rages out upon the air.
I breathe.

Staying deep inside myself.  Reflections.
A distance I can do. I place myself to
a soft, padded cell. Causing a great
silence within, a numbing.

Settling upon this deserved correction.
Harsh as it was. Sticking low.
Crawling back inside my box. Steeling
my thoughts to the brutal wind.

No call can be heard. Only the
voice scratches the walls within.
No sense is understood. Yet the
spirit gathers strength.

Suprisingly how responsive a
life can be.
