The
Silence
tired
inertia
a reluctantly defeated foe
as
exhausted feet
step
by step by step
tread
from darkness depths
to
the welcome glow of light
upon
the landing
gaining
strength from the vanquished task
and
more in the pause
to
hear the sleepers slumber
care
free spread within the night
chest
welling with gratitude
at
so incredible a gift
that I should belong to such as these
