Silence

One fine dawn
with the curtains still drawn,
Silence had a desire
to be free and to inspire.

And when it finally took to the skies,
it left in its wake a gazillion fireflies.

The world’s awful din suddenly found itself floored,
as higher and higher Silence soared.

Oh, how valiantly Silence fought,
to make way for Thought.
A fierce, blinding light
now haloed its brilliant flight.
