RhythmofLife

Silence in me

as my eyes open

to a world,

to a life

that I struggle

to make better,

so that I might finally

taste the breath of freedom.

Cold am I

as each day melts

into velvet dark,

and silence is all I know.

It’s only when

I hear

the rhythm of life,

the flow of expression

that pour from my speakers

that creates my heart.

I can feel once more.

I can know myself again.

Pulse after pulse,

step by step,

I’m alive

with a beating heart.

The only thing that I fear

are those who do not

understand the music,

and if they succeed

to silence my heart

that strongly beats

within my chest,

I’ll know nothing.

I’ll feel nothing.

All I will have

is silence

within me.
