Finding Myself in the Silence

I long for the type of quiet
where you hear the rhythm
of your heartbeat
in your ears

The sun and moon
silently trade places
while the stars
transform the sky
into a dazzling display

The moon doesn’t
shout, it slowly appears
stars in their silence
announce they’re here

A cool breeze
so steady and slow
dances through the trees
creating a pantomime of leaves

A distant clap of lightning
streaks across the sky
silent to my ears
yet a show for my eyes

I hum a soft melody
hearing myself in the silence
the harmony is there
waiting to be found

I let myself in
