Lasting moments of peace

Can I see the sky
like you see ice in
summer?

I can stare at the things
around me
and feel quite happy
that I am in a place
I chose to be.
But that does not dispel the feelings
locked inside me.

I breathe and let it go.
The breath is but a silent reminder
I am alive
and here to stay.

Can I remember the songs
that I wrote in your name?
but then I forgot
'cause I have lost
my voice.

So I eat from a bowl
of summer fruit
to freshen.
and move to beats that I can alone hear.

I do wait upon the shore.
For what,
I am completely unaware.
