To Silence

To Silence – blessed break from speech
And sounds that are beyond my reach
To the end of scrape and screech

To Silence – of the engines blast
And sirens clamor as they pass
To squelch alarms for sleep at last

To Silence – in my troubled dreams
And from my minds own fretful screams
To let my conscious be redeemed

To Silence – in the final sleep
Let no one come and no one weep
To Silence – my reward be reaped
