Calm

Calm today.
Like a wave too lazy to roll
Like a bell too full to toll.

Calm, like a breeze that's sleeping
Calm, like the dew that's weeping.

Every sense, every pore
Quiet now, can't ask for more

Every breath now feels so sweet
Resting now, those restless feet.

Nothing black, no empty street
Just a warm deep heartbeat.

Close as hell, a soft deep shell
that binds and soothes and keeps me well.

Nothing uttered, nothing lost
No hurt, no fear, no thorns, no frost.

So calm now, like the big blue sky
So calm that I would never cry

I know not if I live or die

Calm

And won't you ask me why?

Calm - as though no further eruption will follow...not! A fantastic piece.

Thanks for visiting the Hollywood Art. Unfortunately there's no easy way to visit the content for specific people - I wish blogger allowed for that. What I'm currently trying to do is expand the archive in as many different directions as possible. Watch for many more posts in the very near future on a lot of the golden oldies.

Inkblot said...

sinusoidally:thats a nice thought. perhaps I will too :)

Nick: thanks, will keep a lookout for more on yours.
As for mine, this could as well be the calm before the storm...

An unusual calm in the tempest... Lyrically imbued tranquility. It's a bit eerie here.

Inks, I won't ask why, because I know. When you can wake up from the stifling thoughts, you feel the serenity stretch beyond the "deep blue sky". It's like watching the Wizard of Oz, and seeing that little man behind the curtain. It's you.

just glad to see peace at last even if the storm breaks.
