At 2 o clock in the morning
there is a deeper silence than silence
I listen to the black.
Far away a dog barks.
A tree rustles quietly.
No birds.
The piano music I am listening to is soothing.
Not nearly as calm as the night.
So I turn it off and listen to the stillness.
Of streets and buildings asleep.
What a view to behold:
the city underneath
the grey overcast skies.
Unfathomable and quiet.
Asleep, but awakening
like my love for you.
