 STILLNESS

Late at night

and all is quite

not a soul outside talking or laughing

no loud music

no cars roaming

only the bright gleams of the light post

shining through my living room window

and the stars glimmering

blinking as if they were winking at me

flirting with me

All I can hear is the silence on my block

in the house

the stillness of my mind

waiting for inspiration

needing to feel aspired

motivated

to make it through the next day

to accomplish my dreams

write the next America’s Greatest Novel

to be happy

and feel fulfilled

at peace.

Word Play

Jumping

and tumbling

inside my head

causing it endless misery

Gleam

I’m blinded by your loveliness
your gleam
makes me shy away
but boy oh boy
what a refreshing
fulfilling
sight
