The Sound of Silence
I hear the sound of silence in the middle of the night.
when the rest of the world is deeply asleep.
A tune that is mine to cherish.
It whispers secrets in my ear.
of love, loss, and grief,
And though it's only a whisper,
It echoes through my mind.
It tells me stories from long ago.
Of persons who have been lost and found,
And, despite the fact that it is only a narrative,
It has me completely captivated.
So, when the world is loud and brilliant,
and I can't hear myself think,
I close my eyes and listen to the soft wink of stillness.
