Inner peace or depression The warmth that I feel filling my core And rising to my cheeks and silent lips Numb from the nonexistent words filling the air The calm that surrounds the present loneliness It hums Soft and melodic Filling the studio as the warmth of lone candles cast shadows on the walls Windows closed Enclosing my padded room That no one can see beauty in The lovely fall of an old soul Floating in warm cream Submerged in a colorful mind Unseen through dark eyes A stain glass portal into soft chaos
