I can hear the silence--it cuts like a surgeons blade.
The emptiness echoes throughout the land--through every valley and glade.
Time stands still as the fresh fallen snow settles on frozen tree.
The wind stands down like an army at rest--a beautiful sight to see.
The night falls quickly upon me--the temperature takes a dive.
The deer and rabbits seek shelter in order to stay alive.
The moon is rising in the sky--it is casting a shimmering light.
The stars are making their entrance--they are twinkling into the night.
The rivers are frozen and covered with snow--icicles shimmer and shine.
The forest is quiet this evening--it's a mystical magical time.
No hustle or bustle or troublesome cares exist in this peaceful abode.
Tranquility rules in this harbor of peace--this place off the well travelled road.
I can hear the silence--it calls out my name, it calls out my name in the night.
It calls to my soul with a beckoning song that sings of a warm shining light.
The evening silence that covers the ground is white and perfectly still.
I have always loved the silence of night and I know that I always will.~Jay O.
