Moment of Silence
It is very rare, but a welcome point,
when absolute silence is found.
No screams or cries, no dogs barking,
no planes, trains or T.V. in the background.
No tick of the clock, no hum of the fridge,
no fans nor lawn mowers running.
No water dripping, no dogs snoring.
No laughter, no tears, no cars gunning.
It is that exact point in time,
I feel completely at ease.
No anxiety, no stress or tenseness.
I feel very good and pleased.
I think the reason, for this calm,
that flows as cool silk over my mind.
Is due to the fact that nothing is asked of me,
at that perfect, precious point in time.
