In the Still of the Night

I rise above my still form.

QUIET

NO BREEZE

NO MOVEMENT

NO SOUND

I CANNOT HEAR MY BREATHING

I CANNOT HEAR MY HEART BEATING

I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH SILENCE

LIKE A SPIRIT

I RISE ABOVE MY STILL FORM

AND SEARCH FOR YOU

I CAN FEEL YOUR PRESENCE

YOU HEART DESIRES TO BE NEAR

BUT THE SANCTUM IS EMPTY

YOU STILL HAVE FEAR

MY SOUL CRIES OUT TO YOU

SILENCE ANSWERS BACK

DISHEARTENED I DRIFT BACK INTO MYSELF

AND WAIT IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

FOR YOU TO COME
