To Silence – blessed break from speech <br />And sounds that are beyond my reach <br />To the end of scrape and screech <br /> <br />To Silence – of the engines blast <br />And sirens clamor as they pass <br />To squelch alarms for sleep at last <br /> <br />To Silence – in my troubled dreams <br />And from my minds own fretful screams <br />To let my conscious be redeemed <br /> <br />To Silence – in the final sleep <br />Let no one come and no one weep <br />To Silence – my reward be reaped <br /> <br />© 2005 JVD<br /><br />Jane Van Doe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-silence/
