Night time
I will sink into your soft velvet
Under the glow of lamplight
Turning off the rectangular screen
That speaks more and more
About the hatred and insanity
That surrounds me
In this world
Gone deaf and dumb and numb and blind
Isn’t there any way
To soften harshness into something tender and kind
Or is this just a waste of time?
I think it best in many ways
If I just lose my mind
And let my true feelings speak
While I tune into the heart beating
Deep inside my chest
For the place I find the sweetest relief
These later days
Is feeling myself held
Ever so gently
Inside the soft caress
Of night time velvet
And silence
Emerging From The Dark Night
