Midnight

Quiet in

Listen

Whispered voices, world over

Are swelling and swirling bed time tales

One note

One brush stroke

If you strain to hear a heart break

You just might find the wholeness of beauty

The dark side of moon

Making things complete

Forks clang like typewriters

The highways lilt lullabies

We’re all telling a story

Most of us unknowingly

Perhaps even unwillingly

Meanwhile the masters

True heroes

The ones who’ve decided

Are mutely leaking their masterpieces

On the walls of space and time

Knowingly

Willingly

Wielding and relinquishing their legacies

For us to stumble upon one dusty

Dried up day

An enigmatic gaze reaching

Framed on the wall

Wrinkled words that used to pass you by

Now calling your name

Just in time

Their creaking, earth trembling strength

Their war cries

Joy cries

Songs of laughter

Wails of grief

Shattering your self doubt

Their blood runs through you

Together we weave

Together we ride these waves

The never ending glory

Of life
