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
