Silence
I live beneath the silence
You live above the sound
I live above the heavens
You live beneath the ground
Calling creatures draw me downwards
Introspective navel gazing
Grazing on the thoughts that bind us
Heavy legs are marching homewards
Fingers sinking into soil
Soon my slumber will seduce
Shifted into deeper darkness
After the bright sun consumes
Rest has been a long time coming
But will I awake again
As the person you once knew when
This brave world did first begin
Thoughts
This started as a song idea and then became this.
Spiral staircase somewhere in Paris I think. I can’t remember.
