Sshhhhh
draw the curtains closed
unplug thoughts and plans
slip softly, slow-ly
deeply down
into a silken silence
enshrouded in night-time noiselessness
soul sealed in a velvet envelope
captured in the present moment
the chaos of life dissolves
from Ambition! Action! Achievement!
to a world condensed to taciturnity
luxurious lullaby
of unspoken words
lulled to serene dreamlessness
and a darkness
seamless and heedless
of hidden agendas or
ulterior motives
pacific hideaway of silent security
no one can touch
this place this peace
the soft, safe blankets
are soundproof
hushing to sweet decadent sleep.
