Analysis of Silence Of The Night
The silence of the night
So dark, still and unwoken
By the emptiness, deep in the sky
Shadows trembling in the soft gentle breeze
The gentle rustling of the summer leaves
High in the tree tops
The inner world is calm and silent
Just like an unconfused mind
Peace and tranquillity is the key
To help start your life in the right direction
