I
feel
you all
over me,
and yet, you
a r e   nowhere
n e a r.  It is  the
q u i e t u d e  that
b r i n g s  to mind all
there  is  about you.  You
come alive whether I look up
the ceiling, or straight  through
t h e  walls,  I close  my  eyes,  and
I still find you there. At this point, not
even the slightest s o u n d  could  shatter
the flow of m e m o r i e s, nor could it distract
the serenity I have always  known when I'm  alone,
for, it  is in  S I L E N C E  that I find you closest to me...
