In the Stillness of the Night

In the stillness of the night when the world is asleep and the place is at peace, I bask giddily in quiet solitude. Nothing’s quite like it. Feeling as light as a kite. No noise or burden on me creep. Only the still voice from within that I welcome with ease. I relax with a positive attitude. No room for thoughts that fill with fright. No time for emotions that'll drown me deep. Shutting those out, I take in and release Only what's good for mankind. I'll rise and reach new altitudes. I turn on my happy glowing light. Its rays into my soul seep. I smile at man's ingenuity such as this. I'm filled with hope and immense gratitude. Thinking of what I can add to make the world happy and bright Something to treasure and to keep. I’ll create a nice, uplifting piece. I wonder at all of mankind's expressive aptitudes. What beacons of hope can I ignite? Make doubtful minds and sad hearts leap. Make negativity and hate cease. Inspire creativity and world peace. I’ll use the stillness of the dark to inspire and not incite. I’ll share with love and enlighten multitudes.
