Step
A thousand times
A step
Take a turn going up
Going down
Hands of chords drawn
Across the catgut
Leaving an atmospheric mark
Echoes bounce
Beauty lit by the sounds
Adding a temporary wave
Travelling down in the darkness of ones soulless heart
Worn rounded impression
Left born moulded into the rock
Drawn over time
A compressed tread
From old to young
From sure, frail, strong, careful
Every step a step
Step a step
Taking a step
Closer
A place
A place unknown
Orpheus my name almost forgotten memory
Falling from my soul
Falling
A coma dreams
Hearing only the strokes of melodic melodies
I strum to keep my sanity
Playing in my head
Dreaming the unthinkable
Twisting down deeper darker
A greyed colour
Strings vibrate in ear
On hands touching massaging
Only voices
Sorrow
My conscious beats
A silent crying out not being heard
Its remoteness
For deep in this darkness lies the failure
Of us and them
