hermit emerging

It was within the darkness

In which I could finally catch my breath

The stillness comforted me

While I gained my strength

The patient silence in which I dwelled

Dispelled the misery as I dove greater depths

With each inhale absorbed new meaning

With each exhale new colors emerged

So engulfed with forward movement

I was unaware of what I left behind

In the quiet only night may layer

I found my pain returning home

As it became my own

My heart spoke of the wonders of what I may leave behind

if I were to speak my mind

The silence of my sacred space

As comforting as it had become

Began to split, distort in ways

Light rays easily penetrate

As my colors grow, they can't help but explode

A calling to my souls companions

A dance to my body's imagination

A secret unbroken as the light breaks the silence

As my words break the surface

my darkness finds it's place

And my colors take up space

I take up space

Breaking silence
