Mist & Stillness

a pale light drips across the floor
memories I don't search for anymore
they flow like mist inside my chest
not loud not conscious at rest
in the hush of mist and stillness
old emotions drift with kindness
nothing hurts nothing shines
just the echo of quiet signs
I trace the shapes of thoughts I knew
faded outlines come and true
no need to hold no need to cry
they settle soft beneath the sky
in the hush of mist and stillness
old emotions drift with kindness
nothing hurts nothing shines
just the echo of quiet signs
the world is distant slow and wide
I let the past sit by my side
no storm no spark just quiet air
and the feeling that something's there
in the hush of mist and stillness
time dissolves into forgiveness
everything I used to be is resting
in this dark
