Voices and Visions”

“Voices and Visions”

Noisy thoughts bombard me
in night’s silence
Causing eery visions to appear
Monsters weep hot tears
upon my eyelids
Zeeping echoes magnify my fears

I lie awake and wonder,
will sleep find me,
Or am I too consumed
by gremlins of the night?
If only I could  leave
the noise behind me-
I would dream in peace
till morning’s light

I press my palms against my ears
to block the voices
My eyes clenched tight
to make the visions disappear
Then I realize
it’s all about my choices-
I can live with passion,
or be fossilized by fear

So I choose to let the voices
and the visions
Scatter seed inside my mind
and let them sow…
Unafraid now,
I give them their provisions
Made impotent, they acquiesce
…and go
