Still the Silence

Silence clings to the walls rests dormant in the corners echoes with each spin of the ceiling fan be still, air, be still let the silence sleep if only for this night With a pull of the chain the current stops the waves silence slips wearily to the cold floor corners, oh, corners screams from seams as the air stills

Sometimes the silence is good - Other times it hurts - It can be good and to share the silence with someone. Have a hand and hold in. Here we have thunderstorms today .... it is not quiet! oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

May dreams become your silent partner when there seems to be no one else near. And when the silence starts to get too loud. Remember how it feels when your in a crowd. Be still and know that I am God. Now you don't have to feel so odd. That second to last line, well you know. :)
