Oh the sweet serenity I find is sacred silence <br />In that deep and ancient dark of night <br />I drink it’s calming essence <br />Let it take away my sight <br /> <br />The peace found in this darkness <br />The silence in the dark <br />I’ve yet to find it’s likeness <br />And the contrast is so stark <br /> <br />In the light the others run <br />Like rats set in a maze <br />Underneath the light of the sun <br />Beneath it’s fiery gaze <br /> <br />But in the night there are but few <br />Who sit and ponder so <br />Who until the morning dew <br />Enjoy the peace in the shadow <br /> <br />Oh the sweet serenity <br />The sweet kiss of the night <br />My respite from the insanity <br />That occurs beneath the light<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-serenity-of-the-night/
