Zone(d)

With a change of wind

And a noise too loud.

In a flash all that I knew was gone

And I was back;- 

paralysised

I want to scream

But I cannot shout.

There was no last beam of hope;

Nobody to get me out –

With a change of wind 

And a noise too loud.

In a flash all that I knew was back.

Safe and sound, its over for now.

Sing it from the rooftops 

Or, scream it into your pillow

Trauma isn’t delivered with a

Recovery manual. 

You’re allowed to feel – 

Or not.

Let the seeds of your soul

Grow with the drop of every tear.

Let the flowers bloom; to

Fill every trembling sunset

And unforgiving sigh.
