"The Numbness of Silence"

No change in my efforts,
leaning toward the light,
able bodied.

My frown of petals,
a disconsolate stare.

A certain touch,
its might of emancipation,
like the merriment of children,
joys me to tears.

Cryptically as I cover my brow,
intent to hide,
I am noticed.

The foundation of my reality,
inhibits disclosure.

Numb in silence,
a prayer to my liberator,
exceeds my stifled reach.

The affection of my acquaintance,
eases all pleading;

Her gift,
cradled near,
we part.

The warmth of nostalgia,
soon to slumber.
