But Still Stillness

Help me the call of the desperate a furlong voice sent on quest from which it will never return Looking for hope from a god who is not be there Darkness your blanket and coldness your friend Gravity pulls the sorrow from your soul Light bares witness to your fear Your body held together by unreleased tears We have split the atom but how easy the soul from the self is ripped The stranger inside willing you to strive on but he cant fathom your depths I am a stranger to my thoughts Thoughts cannot feel Happy just a disney dwarf Joy a forgotten bible word Wonder the father of the end Love a pain without source And friendship and family lost to death Sleep the comfort Soft sleep.eyes and brain living the life The self shrinking as the pain intensifies Less of me to care Of my careless life That whisper with no audience Help me but still stillness

Christopher, you successfully and dramatically went 'there', that place where I know I've visited, that raw place was laid out with bam, bam imagery that adds color to the grayness of it all, not cheerful color, but hues of the mood poetically shaded. You nailed it in my view. All the best ... CayCay
