Silence
Listen.
Do you hear it?
The low, soft nothing of silence?
Silence.
I wallow in it.
I wrap it around me -- a cloak of comfort.
I am alone.
I come into myself.

I am alone.
I come into myself.
Silence.
My mind is set free.
I think, I wonder.
I feel the words flowing.
Silence.
Blessed silence.
