Inside voice, inside voice.
We’re not outdoors,
So please quiet your tone
And use an inside voice.
Your speech is abrasive,
Causing my ears to burn.
Why are you so intrusive
With your words.
No one listens,
And you think because
You cannot be heard.
Yet the reason is,
The price is too high.
Big payment, with little return.

A river floes with fluidity.
Falling over a fault.
Seen as majestic,
known as a waterfall.
Falling into what seems,
An un-growing sea.
That is you and me.
I am the water
Falling over the thought of you.
Crashing into a pond,
Refreshing and blue.

We finally able to play our song,
To sing out and share our excitement.
But before our first notes,
We go out of tune.
Playing sour chords, blaming each other.
We drag on playing different songs.
In perfect discourse.
Not embarrassed for for our lack of listening,
But distraught of our dissonance.
Disbelief will soon die and we shall see some sort of saving,
But not in each other.
We lay upon our fret boards, modulating often.
Changing key to adjust to the counter,
Yet never making harmony.

My life a potted plant.
I grow only to stop in mid-hieght.
Roots hitting end on an un-penetrable wall.
The daffodils say life is easy,
But how could it not be when it's this basic.

At a sight farther then seen by human eyes,
Sitting in a circle condemning those down below.
The souls lost in uncertainty but comfortable.
Satisfied with what is said even the lies.

Darker then the hearts stumbling on the earth.
We continue the false hopes and heartaches.
Bending branches by the weight of our breath.
Sending creeks down the mighty stump.

The twisting twigs and snapping limbs,
Are not heard but give all who pass chills.
Like a drug, it takes time to effect.
And soon we will feast on their regret.

Never satisfied those mortals droll on.
Consuming but never filling.
Feeding the addiction with whispers.
Saying what they want, not what they need.

With each passing moon we grow.
Sowing our thoughts and beliefs.
Reaped by those searching.
All who buy into our whispers and lies.
