My Tears … To Rest

i picked up the

phone …

i needed to talk …

i began to speak …

…..

i searched through the years …

I spoke words through tears …

i felt the times of my despair …

i explored my world of pain …

i crept through time

 never sure i’d find my

way …

i backtracked through the intricacies of turmoil and rusted thought …

lost morality  …

 i saw chunks of fallen plaster … the

missing pieces of my

dreams …

…..

then i heard

the silence of

my mind …

…..

after hanging up

i walked away from the places i had

never really seen

toward the place i never left behind …

where i laid my tears to

rest  …
