Silence speaks

Tunes in my head
Driftwood in bottles
Washing icicles from my bed
Before dream keepers wake
Under sand blossoms
Snores keep vigil
Rest left behind
Tourniquet bottles in junkets of sand
Judging the jury
Out for the night
Clear as half moon nails
Unknown grows
Reaching dream pastures
Where the knocks keep knocking
Storm catchers release
Just before the unknown ties up
All the loose pieces
Junkets of sand
Tourniquet bottles
Drift wake
Rest left behind
Silence speaks
