So many words whispered
but never said
fight for the right to reign
in my head
Silence speaks out untethered
and pulls you in
watches and waits to play you
inside my head
Ever so gently the generations past
and ever intently my smile tries to last
I make my way thru barricades
to call to you to join my play
Ever so gently I yearn for truth
to know the why of my wild hues
your prescence persists in my mind, yet loose
and puzzles the essence of my blues
So many years faded
but never understood
fight for the crown the prize
to claim my blood
Silence speaks dreams liberty
and sets us free
lets go the reigns blindly
within this flood
Ever so gently the space grows
and ever intently my thoughts are slowed
I make my way a haunting escape
to flee the force of feelings that wake
Ever so gently I yearn to know
the thoughts and feelings of your soul
your gift of life on me bestowed
and tangled within this shapeless mould
So many excuses fictions
but too strong to shake
fight for freedom the essence
of all that's at stake
Silence becomes me desperately
and gathers me in
steers my reigns chaotically
turning wheels for my sake
Ever so gently the truth takes hold
and ever intently my stories are told
I make the secrets a sad rhyme
to replace the face of this mime
Ever so gently I run from you
the histories and mysteries never spoken
your loving embrace that never knew
the worlds within me so torn and broken
Dedicated to My Beautiful Mother
