Silence from Within
Location
Footsteps echo,
on the soft carpeted floor.
Chairs creak,
from the restlessness.
Noses sniffle,
the person breathes.
Paper crinkles,
a hand writes.
Covers thud,
books are found.
Sighs are uttered,
from the stacks.
Silence reigns,
all within.
Air shudders,
the void is opened.
Music begins,
a book. . . is opened.
(Library silence is deafening, only the music of the books fill the void)
