"It takes a long time to say anything, and we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say" -Tree from Lord of the Rings II: Two Towers film


Silenced my mind
For once
One thought erased my life

Quiet
And still
Still
Quiet
Silent

Then bloomed.
Then rain
Then thunder
Then lightning struck
Then struck me
And I stopped in my tracks
Behind a stall door.
And I preened myself good
I preened myself goodBut

when I stepped out to prepare

I found Doubt
I dragged Doubt
And Doubt weighed
Oh, Suspend me
So I can’t feel weight
Float me and steal air
Like he stole from me

Silence
And a strike
Violent
Infatuate
Infatuate
And a bloom in me
A flower, a stalk, a trunk
And roots, a cage on my heart
Slowing the beats
Trying its will
Challenging me

 

And stealing sleep

 

And stealing sleep

 

And I can't open my eyes
And I can't see a thing
Not a thing
