Whispers of the Void

Stillness invades deep
Time unmoving
Heart pounding
Seeking the wind deep within
Spirit one with the wind
Change is meant
Yet stillness invades
Numb within
Confused been so long
Why now
Stillness within
An old feeling from long ago
Not welcome nor desired
Heart aches
Steps hesitant upon the path
Numbness not wanted
Grief tis needed
Yet stillness invades
The scream to act
Stronger each moment
Refusal to give in
Yet need release
Emotions to strong
Mind pushes them away
Letting numbness invade
The sun sets
Door opens
Scream builds within
Mind locks that away
A defence
So dangerous
Bottles it all
It will come to be
Will not be denied
What form it takes
Yet to be seen
Long ago felt
Near forgotten
A ghost of the past
Lifts up to invade
The numbness within
Stand tall
Stand strong
Let the wind flow
The calmness hiding power
Power untold
Till unleashed it tis said
Fight the numbness
Acceptance the balm
To sooth scars within
Feathered touches
Taking scars power
Must not add
Yet so alone
Aching deep within
This place filled
So many memories
No new ones made
Never again
Alone while numb
Scared and alone
Fighting the numbness within
One second
One minute
Live in now
Think not of the next
One second
One minute
Fighting the stillness invading
Heart heavy
Mind protecting, yet so wrong
Tears flow
Cleansing and refreshing
Yet minds walls
Block the stinging from being
Will not give in
Acceptance is power
It frees those within
That deep stillness
A darkness that is feared
Even by that within
That darkness that quakes
Lies the trap
Acceptance lost to past
Lessons still abound
Fight the stillness
Release the heart
A mind’s terrible trap
Sprung and locked not secured
One second
One minute
Shall not give in
To that craving
Crimson heat a freedom
A lure that is false
Must find
The release within
End the numbness n stillness
Tis not desired
It hinders not helps
That numbness when alone
Invades deeply
Once given in
Long ago and acceptance
Broke the bindings
Of crimson release
The desire still exists yet
Will not leave
Not now not ever
Acceptance needed
Warm embrace craved
The silence to much
All to much
When numb within
