Hold death of heart in art

If you are drowning in your laughter,
take time to stop and rewind sane-
swimming, swimming, ever falling
in the sodden mess of your brain.

if you are burning in your tears,
take time to stop, fast forward sane-
plummeting, plummeting, ever soaring
in the dry mess of your brain.

if you are lost with silence as sorrow,
take time to stop and restart-
living, dying, ever crying
hold death of heart in art.
