Bliss in Silence

Silence brings a peaceful bliss
Dissonance she does not miss
Hiding from the world so cold
Safe within this soundless fold
No pain can find her within this place
No hurt can invade inside this space
She builds her defenses and holds her ground
Safe from disappointment from those around
For now she keeps her heart out of reach
In time love may find a way to breach
These walls that she has built out of stone
And show her things she has never known

Sweet Escape Lost

Oh to drift into that blissful sleep
Where worries fade as I fall so deep
And mind is clear of all life’s weight
Dreams are sweet and there is no hate
To fall into such a sweet embrace
Where happiness is all that I chase
Where fear and sadness have no place
Seeking sanctuary in that space
But that peaceful bliss continues to elude me
And these long nights seem to remain a certainty
