today the voices are silent
there is a curious stillness in my mind
the stained hands and my frayed paint brushes
are waiting to speak a thousand words,
yet all there is an emptiness,
a numbing stillness that envelopes
everything in me.
today I will drown in my silence
and slumber in her arms,
today let me dream in the colours of the forest
the earthy brown and the vibrant green,
today let me revel in the sounds of birds and the fragrance of wild flowers,
today let me sleep finding comfort in this strange dream that seems almost real
today let me be free and finally seek my oblivion in the haunting stillness of the wild
today let me just finally breathe
today, just let me be
just let me.
