A miracle occurred
Right outside my house
Funny how the shots stopped

The windows tremble no more
And the night has regained its peace
The only sound is the people's snoring

Where my dreams were once held captive
Now floats a dreamy lull
The secrecy of my mind fills with a roar

Darkness, you are my only friend
For you, at 3.44am, bring me comfort
And my pen freely writes
