Analysis of Silence.
I wish for there to be silence,
Within my restless mind,
The type of wonderful silence,
Where nobody hears a sigh,
Continued silence I meditate,
And pray dear lord let it be,
I have come to you pleading,
Too late for me to see,
The days become so noisy,
And nights no longer calm,
Allow for me always,
To carry not a frown,
I wish to be ever silent,
with mind truly at ease,
Something that only sleep can give,
Can you do this for me.
