The Quiet Noise of the Night

The wind whispers occasionally,

on a silent,starry night.

The rythmic tick-tocks of the clock

and the peaceful breathing of others sleeping

quietens the mind.

An occasional thudding of a door somewhere,

and a car roaring to life can be heard.

But the night has only begun.

As the night gently turns darker,murkier,

the world around becomes quieter,

And the sound,of our own breathing can be heard.

The night begins to get chilly,

and the wind becomes playfully still,

as the night progresses to its darkest phase,

before dawn.

And yet the chilly wind whispers occasionally,

on a silent starry night.
