Silence and darkness comfort me
The soft glow of white snow rising through my window
The black silhouettes of the trees against the dark gray skies
The silence like a continuously whispered promise
The steady stillness feeling omnipresent and everlasting
And as the darkness creeps further and further into me
I calm more and more, the quiet enveloping all
The night is a comfort and the quiet is reassurance
That all is well even when it is to be broken by the rising of the sun

When I sit at my desk and try to write down
All of these feelings my pen does not make a sound
For the feelings inside are trapped and confined
Boiling up without meaning, biding their time
Until I cannot even form them into words
Lost in my head, they continually swirl
Looking for a way of expression and meaning
Even I cannot describe this feeling
I need to let them out, have them understood
By someone, anyone, if only I could
