Nothing Beats Silence

There is nothing that beats that time
When I lay down that bed and close my eyes
I might have not done it well
Heck, I might not have done it at all
But whatever, it means I am getting rest

There is nothing that beats that moment
When every conscious thought escapes me
That feeling is just so freeing
I forget everything 
I forget even myself
I am held up to nothing

There is nothing  that beats the silence of the night
It becomes me
I don't have to wake for anything 

There is nothing that beats early morning silence
When everything is yet asleep
Sure I am hurt a little 
But with a cup of tea in one hand
And a book in the other hand
Trust me, I don't want to be going anywhere today

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
