Silence


excitement without fear
what a dream
so, excitement with fear
let the healing begin

I have a self, a will,
a life in this body
they make me human
with silence comes wisdom

selflessness is the key
and impossible
and unwise
except maybe sometimes

I keep wanting to escape
this wonderful place
when I am tired, uncomfortable
and yet I am here

I look up at blue sky overhead
with a tiny white cloud
dim rainbow in the distance
silence is the sound

of me
