The words are ringing in my ears today
Blinding my eyes with tears
Taking me down to that place
Where the back of my throat is all I can feel
Razor-sharp annunciation
Cryptic though in clarification
Boxing my brain again
Revealing my pain again
Time has no bearing on this burden
Riddles, reasons overlap seasons
Oblivious to wasted time
Moments lost, never to find
Hope dangles on a thread
Frayed and frazzled in my head
Precious moments terminate
As stubborn hearts still beat
You are with me in the fog
Drifting silently on your own
Though you hide within the darkness
You will never be alone
Waves of anger turn to ripples
As the faithful sun will rise
Murky minds catch rays of hope
To see the light inside
~
You are with me in the fog
Relentless it may be
I am hiding in the darkness
Words are lost and swept away
We are floating without current
We are discord in a daze
But there is promise in the sunrise
There is love beneath the haze
Space without substance
Time without tolerance
Minds apart
Stabs in the heart
Form without motion
Endless erosion
Words unheard
Intentions deferred
Reach without touching
Nudge without crushing
Anger intact
Missing the facts
Love without action
Emotions in traction
Nothing but air
Hope and a prayer
