HEARING

The dark enclosure of my mind
Chews out the thoughts of day
And though the land is close at hand
This ship has lost its way

Beating at my window
Trapping me inside
The water' edge comes back to me
Yet visible so far away

The storm rages and I can't shout
The rain torrents will shut me out
Without a sound and care
Too loud to scream for help
I'm too far gone for anyone to hear
