Shhh

Shhh
slow it down
quiet it all
to nothing
Feel the chill caress
each corner and space
that occupies within

Shhh
turn down the heat
that burns the very thing
that embraces this
story

Shh
Trust the whispering wind
as it blows away all passion
and leaves nothing but
truth

the fullness of the heavy load
sagging beneath the rain that drowns the earth

Shhh
listen to the sweet music
as it swirls into pure air
and takes away our breath
before it quiets this
quieter
than before
