The Hour (A Take on “A Clear Midnight” by Walter Whitman)
This is your hour, the hour of your blissful silence.
Gone, the ceaseless sounds and tidings of the endless day.
Enter, tranquil time of joy and mourning,
Spell of unwont reflection and blessed ignorance
Breathe in now the calm, live this hour freely,
Before the world reclaims it once more.
