Ceiling Fans
Spinning
everything was spinning
and yet every single thing was still
when silence becomes peace and peace becomes thought
repeated
for months and months
and thoughts which were left unsaid for so very long
in the best interest of each other
were finally disclosed for the greater good of both
And in the sweet aroma of a beautiful perfume that may not have even been there
and the specks of infinite nail polish scraped like stars upon a spinning shadow ceiling
in a quiet room
with a record playing softly til its end
and the truth now told
settles like gold in the bottom of a clearwater wishing well
and five kisses in the air which was cool
no matter where they were
and in an embrace which was the only thing thought about for the entire duration of the silence
and calm
calm settles
in the happiness which is true
and has not been
for far too long
mutual feelings
and a promise in a spot of light
surrounded by an infinite expanse of dark
of friendship
above all
and what could possibly be argued
for in the beginning and end
of all things truly beautiful
stands a friend
