Silence of the Night
I walked down a dimly lit street
Around midnight
My footsteps sounded absurdly loud
Every breath made a sound
Repetitive and irritating
Every time a breeze
Rustled through the sleeping leaves
They seemed to come alive
And laugh in a raspy voice
Haunting and taunting at the same time
Silence of midnight
For some
It offers calm and peace
Even inspiring a few
For some it’s jarring
Not the silence itself
But the absence of any sound
