The allure of silence Was an anchor in secret Drawing me ever closer To the depths of many before It was a tremendous weight Laying claim to my weary figure Lassoing my limbs In the boundless haze Of my day to day basking Until the final gasp I did not know Until struggling was futile…

I revel in the fond gusts Of cherished refrains Penned long ago As the notes flare And soar to their prime Meeting the fervor Of decades lost My mind toils peacefully Beneath the waterline Of ragtime anthems My mind trudges assured And sparks a frenzy Inside my quiet marrow

I carry on Like an unheeded whisper Buried alive By the bustle of conversation Words gush away Expunged without a care As thought withdraws From each cold lifeless grin My world Consigned to haze Weaves flawlessly Through this chattering labyrinth As they all part Instinctively Adhering only To the warmth I emit They obey only…
