Poem: The Quiet Hours
In the still of the night, I find my space, Where thoughts run wild in a calm embrace. The world is sleeping, yet I’m awake, Lost in my mind, decisions to make. I overthink, but it’s not all bad, Sometimes it’s the only time I’ve had, To sort through the mess, to see it clear, In the silence, I have no fear. What if I failed? What if I succeed? These questions grow like a planted seed. The clock keeps ticking, but I don’t mind, In the quiet, I’m not rushed, not confined. I’ve come to love these hours so late, When my thoughts are mine, no need to wait. The world moves fast, but here I slow, And in this stillness, I let it flow. Maybe tomorrow I’ll forget these doubts, But right now, it’s all that my mind’s about. The silence speaks, I listen close, It’s in the quiet, I find what I need most.
