Peace and Quiet
In the suburbs and the country
When the night arrives,
You can feel the darkness
Where the silence thrives.
For a city gal,
Used to lights and noise,
You would think such peace
Would bring endless joys.
Though my sleep improves
When the quiet reigns,
There is something lost
Which negates the gains.
Though it might sound nuts
(And I'm sure it does),
In the burbs I miss
All that city buzz.
