Silence

There's something about the silence at night that can calm oneself.  It leaves you alone with your thoughts, to contemplate your life.  And when you're feeling lonely and sad and exhausted with life, it forces you to think about how you're truly feeling.

Tonight I am feeling that way.  I'm feeling melancholic, perhaps slightly depressed, and just wondering if there's anyone or anything in the world out there to which I can look forward.

And then slowly it starts to change.  The sound of a car horn in the distance.  The whir of cars on the highway.  The clicking of the keys on the keyboard.  The vibration of a cell phone.  And the rustle of the breeze blowing through the window.  The silence is gone.  Suddenly you realize there is more in this world after all.
