My Reality
reality, now
world is muffled, silent
voices grow distant
reality now
In my mind, chaos rules
a moment of peace
reality now
noise and ceaseless clatter
yearning for silence
Whispers
eyes clouded
fading whispers in the dark,
lost in a lonely night.
creeping quietly
a whisper in the mind
unseen
moments of joy
a silent thief takes it all
keeper of our tears
The Sea
calm seas, serene, bright
reflect a hopeful light
clouds gather, darkness falls
without warning
a sudden plunge, a bottomless abyss
endless waves
a treacherous sea
mind adrift, clear then obscured
gasping for air
unpredictable
a silent storm, a hidden war
depressions grip, forevermore
Healing Begins
hidden dreams are found
the pause that gives us life
pondering what might have been
in depression’s grip
we find the hidden truths
wisdom, healing begins
curious eyes seek
whispers of a hidden world
courage to rewrite
