And as I sit alone
Silence abounds
My mind begins to take off
Racing into different directions
A firework bursting forth
I hear voices of past and future
Ripping into my soul
Taking the calm tranquility
That lied so within my breast
Creating chaos
A storm of storms
Threatening to tear down
the walls I have built
Flashes of red and green
Passion and jealousy
Blind me into submission
I strain for the voice that's whispered
the calm within this pandemonium
the one who's screams
Are hushed by the violence
The words that soothe the fire
The past is past
No more can be done
The future is not yet writ
Your path yet traveled
Cling to today
To the moments of now
The assault over
I lay my head
Smile and drift into the *now
