The Silence
Loneliness fills my sleepy bed
Many thoughts fill my inquisitive
head
Pillows keep me company on either side
As well as the dog seeking a
comfortable place to hide
The television stares, emitting images with no voice
Silence you know is the thinker’s
choice
Light bulbs offer light for as
long as they can
Electricity a power source since time began
Outside I hear the roar of lightning
and thunder
Mother Nature doing her best to
create amazing wonders
The sound of raindrops resonate
atop my sleepy head
Playing a melodic melody for the
prying dead
Raccoons and squirrels manoever throughout the night
Their world awakens when there is no light
Creaks and scrapes can be heard throughout
Carrying coded
messages from spirits who dare not shout
I think as I lay my head to
sleep
Could the silence really
be so deep?
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
