The sound of silence in my ears, <br />A lonely crowd to hide my fears, <br />A bitter-sweet song in my throat, <br />A symphony of just one note. <br /> <br />The darkness bright within my mind, <br />An open secret none can find, <br />An endless dream cut short by sleep, <br />An ancient story none can keep. <br /> <br />The death that lives inside of me, <br />A chain that sets my spirit free, <br />A distant place so close at hand, <br />A paradise deep in the sand.<br /><br />Arik Fletcher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/obfuscate/
