It's the sound of silence that calms
my spirit
when the ruckus becomes too rambunkous;
Listening to it with rhythmic tones
strong enough to soothe the savages of my
nightmare's sleep
dreaming of volumes of beast aiming to burn
me with eternal flames;
its the presence of love that governs
my soul
to unfold like a blossoming black rose
exposed to the sun's
radiant blaze....
