Voices live in my house
Voices of memories and people passed
I hear them at night
Some screaming in anger at the anguish they felt
Some crying in silence
Their tears resoundingoff the walls like silver rain
They haunt me endlessly with their memories
Ones they want to forget
Forcing tears of my own to spill
The pain they felt lurks in my closet
Forcing itself on me
But other voices live in my house
I hear them in the morning
Voices of laughter shine in my eyelids
Like rays of the golden sunset
They beckon to me
And ask me to remember the times I too laughed with them
They wake me up and show me how much a new day means
They carry me on their backs through the day when I need them
And when I know i'm ok I walk beside them
They protect me from the voices of night with their love
They join hands for the one purpose of protecting me
One by one I see them appear
Each voice now becomes a warming smile
They become the faces of my friends
One by one they grabbed hands and together fought away the fear and saddness
When the evil was gone they turned and reached for my hand
And pulled me to a happier place
