He could only vibrate
Unable to sleep, unable to wake
Lost in the gray blue haze of an arctic sky.
He could only feel
What ears cannot hear
And what the eyes cannot share with the mind.
Frozen in time
Speechless divine
He felt the pulse ripple down his spine.
And while the hallow hallways moan and groan
Through shallow lights and heavy stairways
A waiting stillness fell into the night
Arching towards the empty floor
Against a corner to rest.
He tried to talk, and it to him
His mouth open, and its gaze waiting
Until the night fever gave way to snow
Cooled against a hidden moonlight.
As it had been before
Which could not be denied
He could think of nothing more.
Speechless Divine
Daniel James 2014
