Reaching out beyond the dream of what you thought was real, spinning on this ball of life, head now under heel. Ready to die, to live this life so raw, alive on ledge- dancing, hurling, freeing your soul to finally stretch the edge.

Silent night

The house is so still tonight

No dust bunnies tumbling down the hall

no children's laughter

or wrappers crinkling on the end table

no children are crying

(It's just me and silence when the refrigerator stops its humming...)

I could hear the heat from the candles burning

feel the pulsing of my red hot blood

know the loneliness of  sad heart's yearning

see the wavelength of light that fills this room

smell the burning of a will that's dying

taste the fear within your cold, dark tomb


As I touch the silent sounds of

what there is and what is not

beyond the space that's filled with fright

into the place no sound has won


Where two candles joyously burning

two separate flames across the darkened night

two glorious fires, together

in the symphony of silence, light the night
