With A Little Help From My Friends
***

There are times when silence and bewildered contemplation are the closest of friends
and moments within the hideout of a crowd where we find shattering inexistence or the cool hand that delivers a cold escape into a sea of doubt
Engulfed in a protective purpose to keep those loved from our mystery,
our burden, our sorrow, we forget
that paying attention to others is still the only true form of overcoming ourselves or succeeding in said protective will.

At bleak hours those we love unaware of themselves enter and surround the pain with heaven's sweet laughter..
