And rest (Day 1090)

At times, silence is peaceful 

as midnight, a soft blanket 

of quiet that settles 
in comforting folds.

Wrap yourself 
in its warmth—savor it, 

this moment of not doing, 

not being what you are 

expected to be. And rest 

assured: Our noisy world 

will interrupt soon enough.
