Silent Symphony

I lay awake hearing the silences of the night

The air is cool, the night calm

Only the sky is blazed with tranquil stars

Adding to the night’s exquisite semblance

I seem the only one awake

accompanying this dark silent noise outside my window

The streets are deserted, the trees silent

except for a faint rustling sound to an occasional breeze

I can see the lights of the lampposts,

and the shadows they make on the leaves of the trees

They appear ghost-like and dark

as the silence of the night implores them to a hush

But sleep continues to evade my thoughts as I wonder about this silent symphony

Happening outside on the street.

I am a struggling writer who tries to write with meaning and feeling through the few masterpieces that I have produced. Thus, I am ever so diligent at achieving my goal through my writing of poems and short stories.
