December 6, 2013: Lost Lullabies

This night speaks tongue I do not know
As waterfalls melt the helpless snow I used to wish for.
I used to feel balanced and in control but now I stroll,
I shuffle
Hoping my next step falls in front and not
behind.
I don’t mind the mess around me,
because it only surrounds me, but tonight it’s begun to sink inside
I could hide behind my eyes before…
not anymore.
Though I’m sure it isn’t here to stay
I cannot say when it will pass, I guess when I can find
a stable hold on all that spins around
I can clean this mess that knocks me down and nights will start to make sense again
Instead of sounds I do not know,
all I will hear are lullabies to shush me into steady dreams.
Soon all will seem at peace again.
