Peaceful Silence

Everything is silent now.

Resting peacefully for an answer.

Let the sky sleep.

While the moon cherishes light.

And the birds fly at night.

Flowers mumble a few prayers.

Forgotten words, remembered tears.

Forbidden ground breaking apart.

Release the chain of trust.

Firm, hard, moulded well.

The bottomless depth of our heart.

Peaceful silence knows what to say.

Tomorrow promises a brighter day.
