Analysis of A million silences
Sleeping on clouds.
Let me in? I underestimated you!
Bedlem need naught see.
This light so bright.
Fireflys in our hands
A whimper from God: Beautiful.
Stars stars
Perfect place graceful women in the wind
By the waters edge
Her toes cooling
A blanket rose coloured
Warms her
The sunrise she awaits here here
She cannot see but she can see
Her beauty unsurpassed
Out of this worlds class
Silent amidst the dappled light
