Sweet Silence

On his worse days he longed for the sweetness of silence
When left alone with time spent in quiet circumstance
For the world sometimes intrudes
Without invitation and being quite rude

Silence that helps me mull over
Times before when I was bolder
And so prepares me to take the next step
So orderly and silence and so well kept.
