Silence

Silence takes its place
in a still instance,
when the peepers
chirps abate.

It is one o'clock
silence reigns
until a train whistles
its way into a car's path.

A deeper understanding
of self comes
with the stillness
of silence.

Rattled brain
is freed,
when the sounds stop
and the unquiet air is silent.

Find that place and silence washes all away.
