Lingering Echoes


Memories of stolen dreams, convoluted truths
Nights of deceit and chaotic mayhem,
Distempered times of heated atmosphere
Twisted yesterdays, wrapped up in bent todays, 
She dreams of days of welcomed thunder
The patter of rain against her window pane,
Soothing sounds to cancel the intoxicating misery
Forces of unreason, biting ferociously,
Cloaked insecurities, dampening down happiness
Snarling forcefields of whirling crappiness, 
Intrusive thoughts, weighing down heavily
That trigger internal doors of rattling insanity,
Longing for emerging light, springs alchemy
To release the forcefields of inner maladie,
Shrouding herself from the mists of heartache
Beyond the chords of bitterness that break,
Remembers that the entire earth is a masjid
Can be a place of unbounded sanctuary,
Where the nectar of human kindness is stored
Healing the cracked illusions that once roared.
