Hush Now

Hush Now

shut your mouth
quiet those chattering teeth
quiet those shivering empty dreams
count sheep to sleep

strap it on
turn it off

hush now

shut your eyes
quiet those visionary frights
quiet those spooky nightmares
add and subtract

tally it up
balance yourself

hush now

shut your fears
quiet those dark thoughts
quiet those veiled threats
court tattered lovers

clap off the covers
reveal nakedness

hush now

shut your mouth
quiet those slinky tears
quiet those fallen years
divide and multiply

balance your equations
come up a little short

hush now

shut your mirrors
quiet your lips
quiet your reflections

clap it on
seal it up

hush now

shut your mouth
quiet those dinky toes
quiet those fallen footsteps

calculate distances
cool your heels

bless the many feet

(c) D.E. Clark

I especially loved this, you know that I have that thing with numbers and counting, specifically the #5. LOL This is great and it seems that you could've been talking to me on many occasion.

mmmmm... this is sure "suck it and see"... and not sure what I come up with here, Dale... except, whatever it is, it is intriguing and I like it! :)) Don't worry about being sidetracked... I am completely out to lunch at the moment myself, so know how you feel! Yes, I DO like this... not sure whether it feels threatening or brusquely comforting... just shows what kind of parenting I had, don't it??!! Pleased to see you again, Dale, and hope you is doin fine xx
