No Sound

I wish these words were mine

Instead they belong to me

Some quiet child inside

Fading, unseen

The cave is warm and small

The stars are painted here

Someday I’ll feel my worth

Someday near

Sit with me a while

I’ll even let you speak

You’ll want to say your piece

Soon

No warrior I know is weak

           

            Lay with me tonight

            The sky is painted here

            I love myself

I promise

            I’ve painted every tear

           

There is no sound

           

I remain yours,

Lesley
