“You are what your deep, driving desire is."
Silence
Sudden silence!
No sound…
I move forward
Leaves crackle, shattered.
Pause for their demise.
Breathless, wait;
Silence.
Pounding louder
Heart bursts forth
But
No sound.
Stillness, still
Thoughts explode
Run rampant round
Catch them, quick
For silence.
Shuddering calm,
Breathless wait,
Frozen wave
Crash-loud moment soon.
Currents eddy,
Leaves murmur,
Wind stirring heart-thoughts.
Breathless, wait
…gone.
Chaos howls on.
Words, arranged on page in order march
To tell of things inside
Of distant lands, there people live
Choices they must decide
Dreams they have, happiness want
Morals learned anew
Conflict beat, yet not all
But soul they do renew
I see people,
Many of them I know.
How do they see me,
Sitting
Over here by the window,
As usual
By myself.
There is much noise,
From these people I know.
But none
From me,
Unless you can hear a thought cry.
It’s time
To escape
And get away from those I know,
Because I don’t
And they don’t.
I leave.
