Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition
It's a familiar thing,
That takes place,
When one's eyes are heavy,
And full of weighted iron.
The eyelids close.
And the lashes touch earth.
The lights are blown.
And the rattling leaves are heard.
But most of all,
When the enduring hour comes,
The song of rhythmic silence.
