Quiet Solicits Persistently

Silence solicits me once more, 
for safety’s sake, which I deplore.
I treat these moments preciously 
with sanctimonious jealousy;
guarding proclivity's tendencies 
in silent moments of privacy.

Seclusion gestures, 
begs my retention, 
then demands unselfish attention;
incessant exclusion from confusion 
and silent moments without intrusion.

Why must I resist persistently
returning oft habitually 
with hopes of saving my sanity
in silent moments sans vanity.
