A Small Thing

This poem is entered in "Invalid Item" 

Peace
as my mind's chatter becomes numb,
rolling down this lane so many times before
reenacting the same small scene

Noise
as my life plays out in a haze of tears
keeping my vinyl records seems like a small thing
like holding on to a fading memory

Quiet
as I walk through the cemetery park
searching for the place on the side of the hill
a small thing to talk to spirits in the wind

Siren
as I kneel to say what's left of a few prayers
Driving too close to the edge on my side of the ledger
seemed like such a small thing to lose
