::

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -The Worthily Beloved William Shakespeare

The Killer That is Quiet

Silence like a steel fist strikes blows upon me,
ever wrathful on my brow where pours my perspire,
sweet with all that was good now hastily fleeing me.
For the quiet is a killer of truth
as it does vanquish the elegance of life,
as it pries from me my trifles,
the trinkets of gleaming joy I beheld.
Secluded, I am bound to this peninsula,
connected to something somewhere,
but the route I cannot comprehend.
My soul forever parted from the bonds of what is real,
does shower out the wails of wounds I cannot heal.
Oh, the dreadful lull!
Within it I do sulk,
Pouting, moaning, where has gone the familiar melody!
The music of faces in company!
From my distractions, they are freed.
And, lone, I discern the distance of the truth.
As silence has melted it here.
