Within The Silence

Within the silence, within
that moment when night returns
to day in the crimson blue pink glory
of the hush of the dawn, I arise
to walk again the steps
of my days, comforted by the thought

that when night returns my mind drifts
onto the broadest avenue of dreams
where perhaps I write my best poems
which disappear into the world
of my slumbers – I do not consider
it a point of selfishness, but rather
merely a moment of clarity and sanity…
