Rain

A dark room

A sleeping world

Stars standing guard

Outside my window pane.

Suffocating silence

Nothing stirs

Until I hear that pitter patter.

Thank God for the rain.

Any sound

To break apart

The swirling thoughts

And plans I make.

A dark room

A sleeping world

A Lonely mind

A tired soul awake.

Listening for noise

Watching for the sun

Anxiously awaiting

The arrival of the light.

Hours of peace

Given by chaos.

Saved from an abyss of silence.

Safe until tonight.
