Silence

I stood
in silence
pondering
its affect on me
At first, anxious
than calm
peaceful even
with the silence

Its interesting
how little time
I spend
in quiet moments of silence
Without music
or words
to distract
or waste time

I am standing here
silently
but not in silence
my window is open
birds are chatting
sounds of the city
still feeling calm
creative
