Voice (Out of Hibernation)
by S.J. TylerListening to mimes voicelessly chanting
Hearing them sing as my own thoughts whirl
From my pen
For the first time in years upon days
Reading a voice I cant recognize
As my own
Hearing these sounds banging memories
I didnt know I had
This process is painful
Awaking a supposed silent head
My own self who has changed so greatly
Repeating in the past
All the things I think for the first time now
Coming back from vacation
To find someone else has moved in
Someone too much like me but not enough
Waking up from hibernation
To find that in Spring,
Nothing actually paused during Winter
And now Im back again
The same as before
Just repeating myself
Having more difficulty doing so
Finally noticing that I havent changed at all
I had just been removed for so long
That I couldnt hear the same stark face
Looking back at me through my words
The thaw takes some getting used to

Let me know what you think please. I'd really love some help tightening up these metaphors. I'm so rusty. Hope all my old friends are still here and prospering.
