The Uninterrupted Night
The vagaries of our existence
Shine brightly, the stars seen without light
The clouds, always overshadowed, flash
The war of sound lost, the whispers, once soft
Fall on ears no longer deaf to silence
This is a different world, I tell myself
But it has lain in wait
singing at being heard as I with it
dancing to the hushed tunes of its melodies
The timeless hours not timeless at all
But minutes stretched too tight with chords, groaning
A language lost, rhythms obscured, desperate, deep and brimming
with the dissatisfied longing
Of the uninterrupted night
