The eerie calm
A peaceful dead silence
A hint of dawn to the east
A trail of night to the west
No stars, no moon
No stirring in the trees
No rustling of the wind
No sounds of life
Caught between
A review of yesterday
Demands of today
Only briefly in this moment
Relishing the silence
With no distractions
To pull me from my thoughts
Or challenge my mood
Hold back the dawn
Embrace this time
While the world sleeps
I am truly alone in my thoughts
