ALL WAS WELL

What did I hear
from this inner voice
Which speaks to me
in tongues of you.
Soft whispers within
my head.
Swirling about inescapable.
Laid to my bed.
Around you.

I must not have heard
this inner voice
Since your pounding heart
flooded my ears
reddened my face
block the world
from me.

Then from the shadows
of my mind
I hear the softest inner voice
Do you feel safe?
Do you feel at all?
Her in this space
Do you keep up the wall?

I strain in silence
to understand
my inner voice in soft command
Do you feel trusted
and adored?
Have you felt any of this before?

Then quiet...my mind became
Calm - my emotions lain.
No answer was needed.
Rhetoric I knew.
All was well, here with you.
