Escaping Flames
The constant chatter burns and seeks to stop
Still silence from its highly important aim.
And chores stoke angry fires that only maim
And melts our thrills and sets red flames so hot
To hopeful dreams that burn to ash and rot.
The infernos combust our hearts and claim
Sweet peace from souls and leave scorched life lame.
Oh! Why don’t raucous confused days not stop?
And yet there is a wondrous curing aid
That forsakes strife with sturdy mortal blade.
It’s to douse yourself with life’s soothing sea
Of silent refreshing melodies and
Wash away every toil from weary hand.
For silent nothingness is the great key
To live your life and let your soul be free!
