I know you are there

The silence is blinding

Burning with hope

I know you can hear

The echo rings violence

I watched you in silence

I heard you breathe

I know you can see

The reflective embers

Tears form hard as crystals

Descending slow from shadowed eyes

I know you can feel

Slowly ascending up the spine

The tired and broken

Sheltered in your cells divide

I know all this

I know all there is

I know you are there

In the shadow of the mind

Awake

Observing

For eternity is in time
