Literature Text


The sky is a dull ache
this morning,
a quiet
vast and unbearable.

I take a breath, hear
your voice
in my mind
between 
thunder and lightning.

My own desire 
gives shape
to a memory,
even more beautiful, even
more sad
because unreal.

Before I can tell
tears from rain,
a gray prelude 
fills the room,
under my fingertips
temporary solace.

One day
I will stop running,
searching,
one day
I will find the strength 
to listen,
reach the pause,
the silence
no longer heavy
on my soul.

One day
I will wake up
to the sound of my heart
beating.

Melancholic and quietly beautiful. I love the first stanza in particular; it really drew me in. :hug:
