The Stillest Place

Jaclynn Rogers

The only voice here is your own.

The only car, you drove from home.

Fields surround you, crops and loam.

You barely hear mosquitos' drone.

Without a signal to your phone,

Here you are, truly alone.

The quiet here can be unbearable,

But the peace it brings is incomparable.

As the sun sinks down, the night begins.

A gentle glow comes from within

That house behind you. Its light has been

Kinder to you than the city's din,

Full of childhood memories when

Your happiness would easily mend.

Soon enough, the sky unveils

Every start in its detail.

You gaze into the darkened sky

To watch Ursa run and Aquila fly.

These stars can somehow simplify

The troubles you keep in supply./p>

As you walk in, the quiet outside

Provides your pleasant lullaby.
