TRANQUILITY

I measure time and dance the mute music of madness
My mind cluttered in a chaotic cloud of conscience
My recourse riddled with resentful realizations
And all the while the mirror chides my every motion

I walk along some distant darkened shore of depression
My hands aching and wet from the struggle
My steps labored from the relentless undertow of regret
Life streams around and under my feet without stopping
Confusion sticks to me like the salty residue of a onerous undertaking
The tattered remnants of my imagination ridiculing me as I go
Each jagged shell cutting into my heart
I fall into the endless emptiness around me
I fear I will not reach reality again
I am lost
I cry

The flood of emotion awakes me from my nightmare
I look to find my closest friend
My eager fingers reach out to touch her smile
I welcome the strength of her soul beside me
And embrace the tranquillity again
