The silence intrudes upon my new day
it quivers within, reaching through my mind
yet runs with me and seems to want to say
you can not escape from the cage you find
It quivers within, reaching through my mind
in thoughts I wander through the fires of life
you can not escape from the cage you find
the world we own is never free of strife
In thoughts I wander through the fires of life
moments of joy isolated in the stream
the world we own is never free of strife
a nightmare sometimes happens to our dream
Moments of joy isolated in the stream
echoes of yesterday chasing me down
a nightmare sometimes happens to our dream
now living as a mime with constant frown
Echoes of yesterday chasing me down
yet runs with me and seems to want to say
now living as a mime with constant frown
the silence intrudes upon my new day

Lovely work. And I always thought it a lot of fun to write this form, but it's been so long since I've seen it i can't recall what it's called.....not a villanelle...that's not it.
It is called a Pantoum, not real easy to get just like you want it, but rewarding when you do. I was just quick fishing through some files on my PC. I constantly find some I don't even recall writing. Occasionally they are even good.
