In the End

The silence is a raucous circus spent
in incoherent dreams that fly from thought 
to painful thought, no rest for weary wings.
Like frantic moths still searching for the moon,
they circle lights from porch to empty porch
and then ... to only wake alone again.
Your memory drifts so slowly in the breeze
that lifts the curtain's fingers touching me
as if to whisper and too calm a frantic soul
in search of peace that only you can bring;
with faith that you will be there in the end.

Excellent and profound. You have that unique skill of beating the peak. This is a wonderful stuff, always beating our expectation. Can wait to jump to your next page.
