Silence of the Night

Have you ever just stopped and listened

To the noises around you?

Loud and clear

Obnoxious and Wild.

Have you ever stayed awake?

Just to listen to the silence of the night?

Where you can hear everything

The deathly cry of a person being killed.

That faint voice whispering from your closet.

Stop and listen, you can hear it

There it is, that silent sound

Of the frosty wind entering through your old windows

You can hear it, you can hear everything

In the silence of the night

So tonight stay awake just to hear

The silence of an unknowingly loud night.
