stillness in my scream
echoing across the valleys of my mind
silence everywhere
inside a noise unstoppable lingers
streets are rainy and cold
ignoring my pained stare
tired feet catch cobblestones
stumbling, i cover my ears
quietly i roar
to the unwelcome voices i hear speak
calm is all around
inside a scorching whisper burns
clouds are gray and ominous
hiding any spark of sunlight
weary eyes searching in vain
for a sense of purpose
i beg the core of my heart to speak
to erase the dissonant note my mind is writing
if i could only hear your gentle voice
above the calamity of today
i would be at rest.
