A face so gentle, a reassuring calm,
A haven preserved, no grounds for harm,

Tranquil eyes reflecting a world you perceive,
Here a sheer glimpse of how it might be,

An unexpected depth, an aptitude of peace,
No chance, no motive, mere sincerity increased.

With an expression of fondness that will not subside,
Two minds, two journeys finding a way to collide.

The Dark, the light, be intrigued by it all,
The secrets, the shadows and the fluorescence of the soul.

A swallow a soaring light as a feather,
While life sprung all anew.
A swallow a soaring beautifully in dance,
In praise that spring came through.
A swallow a soaring as light touches the trees,
Making new life look easy to do.
A swallow a soaring touching the river,
Taking a drink from the wing in motion.
A swallow a soaring losing a feather,
To the ground to be a welcomed token.
A swallow a soaring through the breeze,
To its nest all warm and woven,
A swallow a soaring to its family in haste,
Nurturing loyalty and devotion.

Hush little voice,
Not today!
You're only going to get in my way,
I have too much to accomplish,
To listen to you right now,
You're clouding my mind,
Which I cannot allow!

Im bigger and bolder and you will not win,
Too much to my being to let you begin,
Hide behind my pillow?
I wont anymore,
Your manipulative seed?
Ha! I choose to ignore!

So hush little voice,
Im saying goodbye,
There is no time,
For me to reply,
Im just too busy you see,
No acknowledgement of the strife,
You've said enough!
Now im taking back my life!

— The End —
