:rhythmic silence that pervades my being

sitting here in silence
so much to hear
so much to say
and not nearly enough time

the sounds of silence
echo through my mind
guiding my consciouness
on this sea of life

this rhythmic silence
that thunders through my soul
befriends my thoughts and grabs my hand
and begs me take ahold

this rhythimc silence
that thunders through my brain
staring at the tears
and laughing at the rain

this rhythmic silence
pausing when it's deep
wading through the shallows
and calling out to me

looking through blind eyes
silence ringing in my ears
swallowed by the thoughts
of long forgotten tears

pages of my story
blow right past my view
and out of lifes importance
one more thing i thought i knew

waiting at the door
silence fills my head
sweet contentment comes like life,
rushing through the dead

this rhythmic silence
that thunders through my affections
drawing from the wealth of truth
that stands not far away

this rhythmic silence
that thunders through my being
waiting for the chance
to be redeemed
