After the Noise

The day is finally quiet... I can breathe again. Slow down tonight let the lights fall low nothing to chase nowhere to go I close my eyes and let it fade the noise outside can wait another day I don’t need to be strong not right now... I just need this moment somehow... After the noise I hear my voice soft in the dark warm in my heart After the noise I hear my voice slow like the night safe in the light my voice... my voice... after the noise... I don’t need answers I don’t need signs just a little silence moving through my mind The world can turn I’ll stay here slow inside this evening I let it go No need to hurry no need to shine... I can be quiet and still be mine... After the noise I hear my voice soft in the dark warm in my heart After the noise I hear my voice slow like the night safe in the light my voice... after the noise... breathe... slow... I can breathe again... [End]
