Stemit Poetry Contest #2 Voice of Silence
In the stillness of a quiet night
A million thoughts freeze as ice
While we lie flat and straight
Without a pitch of voice
Hours before darkness
Voices fill the air
As the night turns thick and flawless
Even the Trumpets cease to blare
Then speech takes a bow
In obeisance to silence
Until our thoughts thaw
Again we open the closed lids
