Echoes
Pain, echoes of sadness
Stark nights without a sound...or a soul to touch.
Deep thoughts penetrate the veil of a lonely heart
What dreams may come if given a chance.

I yearn for a sound, any sound to break this silence...
For a breeze to shatter the stillness
So many questions reverberate within the walls of the mind,
Insecurities and desires wrestly joyously with difficulty within the soul

Praying for light all alone this night
Echoes and more echoes
But still no sound...not one distraction

Then out of the mists
appears the faintest glimmer of hope
Not trusting enough to see it as more than a dream.

Is it the strong arm I so need or just another weary soul
Trapped within the darkness, inside the walls...reaching out too.

I'm caught in between the open door...
Two steps out, one step back
Indecision, more echoes...no more walls, I'm out.
