A New Direction


Destructive silence swarms around our ears,
It swings and trembles. Hanging by a lofty chain
The tongue begins to swell, clogging up the throat.

Whisper and it shatters.

Keep still for yesterday has begun again,
And worry, for contrite hours pass unnoticed.
Hear the rhythm eating down the merry watch.

I fall asleep waking up.

Holy Cow! Did you write that? It's really good. Kinda eerie, but really good!

Thanks! Both the poem (free verse) and the overall look for the blog are in the works.
