Writing Byte #5 What Do We Feel in the Silence?

Sorry it's been forever! Here we go:

Emotion behind the words, behind the tunes,
Behind the stories and melodies,
Emotion, the feeling in our souls, in our hearts, in the places inside us no one can touch,

Emotions lying dormant and hidden,
Buried deep within the core of each of us,
Exposed from behind the traffic and bustle, conversations and clashing, what would we find?

Would we discover truth? Would we find beauty? Horror? Everything? Nothing?
Or would we find the emotions we've known all along?

Whatever I find, would the knowledge bless me or curse me?
Regardless of revelations, what good would it do if I had no clashing or conversation, bustle or traffic, melody, story, tune or words with which to express it?

As it is, I search for truth not only within myself, but also in this turbulent world around me.

Writing Byte #16: Sisyphus

Boulder on a hill, tumbling down, With stubborn resolution, coming back around, Letting loose a cry, a frustrated sound, As the boulder kept on, tumbling down. Sisyphus gave chase, landing with a bound, Stopping the boulder just as it reached the ground, Shoulder set, teeth gritted and head down and bowed, He roared with the effort, clearly and loud. Inch by inch, climbing up the mound, As the boulder gained weight pound by pound, Never giving up, staying strong and proud, He struggled to the top, reaching for a cloud, But anyone knows a cloud’s not a sound- foundation for rest, and so he found, the boulder, fell, turning round and round, As the boulder kept on, tumbling down. I reached out to him, as he came towards me, wanting to show him, make him see, he didn’t need his boulder, didn’t need to succeed, If he just let go, he could hold on to me. So for a while he did, intimately, Arms around me, holding so very tightly, But whil...
