Can You Hear Me Knocking?

Can You Hear Me Knocking?

A Chapter by Shawn Purcell
"

A beautiful ballad

"

From a distance

With a smile in an instant.

A sudden change in story

Another hurt to fill.


Another channel open

And the silence seeps in

I etch myself solid

In the nuance of your skin.

 


Chorus

So can you hear me knocking?
And will you let me in?
Sinking restless
But I feel you in my skin.

 



Like a hollow heartbeat
Fills an empty cave
It's all laid out,
By the source that which it came.


Graced and amazed,
In the draw of elation.
My soul entranced

And my spirit intoxicated.

 


Bridge

Can you hear me whisper,
Deep dark down?

 


Chorus 2
So can you feel me knocking?
I've been out here long.
