reason and repose

softly resounding
a whisper turned inward
a dubious smile
my heart’s in the way
i’m giving way
to reason
here’s to never beginning
the story
here’s to coming back
for more
fully in tune, on the ground
level
ancient, worn souls
battling for a moment of rest
d’ya see the irony
of it all
i’ll break your fall
if you just
come down
