Mr Silence

crept in last night
hand extended out firmly
i took it knowingly

deliriously happy
I knew he would come
in a moment like this

I knew he could not stand at the door forever
watching me
my anguish was too much to bare

some ask for riches
others ask for love
I had simply asked for silence

staring into nothingness
aquamarine eyes
of mindless wonderment

Mr Silence
his voice muted
brought peace

crystal clear silence
a pause between my thoughts
muffled consciousness abated

a remarkable
nothingness
sweeps in
