The Silence

Speak to me about

silence.

Or,

let us lie together

and experience it.

Enveloped by its presence.

Utterly succumbing.

Exposed.

It's dampness finding every fissure.

Or,

whisper its secrets to me like a lover.

Then allow its magic to

overcome the noise that

sometimes inhabits my mind.

Quietude

gently presses into me at long last.
