Welcomed Silencd

Vibrations splinter and echo off of the walls of this bare and empty room Silence interrupted.  I sit staring up at the ceiling fan as it spins.  Drifting farther into the void, until all I hear is noise.  Until all I hear is the low hum of the tv I left on downstairs.  An overused laugh track.  My stomach full of ?Sunday morning?.  Empty waiting.  Empty thoughts.  My mind is, for once, clear.  Transparent overwhelming.  No greater desire than to simply exist.  An existence that's relative.  Outside I hear the steady rumble of cars, Driving by.  People living lives.  Silence amplified.  Inside, it's getting colder.  My breath is visible  Surroundings are a blur I try to hold on to the ticking of the clock on the wall.  The sound of time passing.  Precious wastefulness.  I waited for this.  My day full until it's empty.  To be solely in my own mind.  Peaceful silence follows.  No longer feeling hollow.  Fill me to the brim with nothing.  I welcome it.
