And in the Silence

And in my silence
I hear naught but the noise
Of distant, faded, dreams
Murmuring

Stumbling, alone
In the shimmering shadows
Of a distant darkness
Searching for a fading freedom

Whispers, caressing
Savored secrets
Echoes validating
Passion’s permanence

Shouting…I am here
In the dark of silence
Dancing alone
In memory’s moments

Ah, the tension between our desperate, feeble shouts midst the gathering silence. ~ Desi Perado
