The Night's Silence

I sat in the stillness
Waiting for the last of the crickets to leave
 
When the night was quiet
When even the ghosts were asleep
 
I let my body become a harmony
And my wrists a violin
 
As I took the center stage, and all the spotlight
While all audiences stared in anticipation
 
And just like that I struck my bow
Again
And again
And again
And until I didn’t have the courage to go on.
 
Once again, I sat in the stillness
Waiting for the last of the audience to disappear
 
When the night was silent
When I went asleep
