silence

[plural]

outside
the fog rolls in
blanketing

the street
in an uneasy calm

visibility
maybe 10 feet

breathing in
the cold damp
fog

slowly
in
out

absorbing
the tranquility within

a short walk

a brief experience

that reaches
inside me
and wakes something
neglected
forgotten
ignored

quiet

simple

peace

fills me

it is time

to let go

all that

I have
secreted away
for so long
