Slow

Still the silence speaks in tongues of tortured fright where darkness holds the night in chambers seldom seen Rare now the touch a silkened pearl a mind unfurled Beats slow beats of death drone the black filling out the sides alone again and I am done

I thought after the unfurling of the mind...there would be light. Sad...but beautiful.

- I like when "silence talks" ... do not fear the silence, it makes good for the soul ... the darkness is black ... but not the death, Tim - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Your midnight thoughts are a little scary, Tim. I'll bring you a nightlight. And you'll never be done. Hugs.

Midnight thoughts Heidi. I wrote this last night after the kids went off to bed.
