Silence
Thinking aloud
in silences creeping toward a possible other
imagined there for you
when too lone
time overflows around your existence
distilled to a core
no one ever glimpsed even a shadow of
for its dark
too dark
for an alternative to raise there above your centredness
that pain thrown at you
as a pebble at a lake top
now settled down
to redefine your limits
your groundedness
that gain of worldliness
and a loss of stillness
mirroring the sky
in transience
you can't stop
