Powered from Within
The light has shifted,
flashing a silent song to the surface
that, somehow, I’ve never heard before.
The tempo ticks within me.

I hum the tune
frantically
to anyone
who will listen. But -
nobody knows
or nobody cares.
The light has shifted,
flashing a silent song to the surface
and it is just for me.
