Song of SilenceA Poem by Collette Clark
Falling away from the cliffside of sanity
My equilibrium spins around out of control I don't know what to make of this message sent to me How this all plays out Only God could know Mixed signals are all I've gotten Foreign languages are all I hear My translator's on vacation I fend for myself, alone Why won't God tell me what He knows? Confusion is an illusion from the inside of our minds We have no definition as we hang on for the ride It's too damn dark and getting late I can't go back inside because I'm so far out, I can't swim back I've been swept by the tide Mirros falling through my mind Only images of prospect I can't tell myself From the image they reflect Not even God knows what this could say Shattering as they fall Seven years of bad luck Watch me as I pretend to care I'm doomed already Superstitious curses won't change that Hope and despair Evaluations and assumptions mean nothing This concentration eludes me My suffering consumes me Why was I doomed from the start? Confusion is no illusion It dwells inside my mind It is my definition, I struggle to stay alive The night grows dark, it's far too late There's nowhere I can hide I'm so far out, I can't swim back Doomed are you and I © 2011 Collette ClarkReviews
