Yearning for silence
like for an old friend
that offers comfort
’cause there is nothing
left to explain.
Silence that rains
ever so gently
over my body
and cutting out
all that doesn’t matter.
I’m getting better at it,
Silence that is,
despite the fire sirens
outside my window,
I can be quiet.
Like right now,
as the mad rush begins,
a new day filled
with duties and opportunities,
I feel my body breathe.
Like a cat,
curled up below
the fireplace
enjoying the comfort
of a late Spring day.
There is nothing else.
Just Silence.
