Silent Nights

It is only in the silence of the night
When all that can be heard
Are the echoes on your heart
And the thoughts in your head
The silence brings more noise
You hear more in quiet
The things that you put aside
The things that time and actions
Things that brings racket and noise
Things that drown out the truth and emotion
The echoes of the heart the fear that it brings
And the pain that you fear
In the silence of the night
Ones truest heart is made clear
The demons are heard and near
As are the dreams and hopes that are true
Angels and demons
Dreams and nightmares
Hopes and fears
All are heard and seen
My mind is clear
These things that haunt us in the night
That keep us from restful slumber
Hopes that haunt our dreams
Fears that glorify our nightmares
It is these times in sleepless nights
That make us heroes or villains
May God keep us on these dark silent nights
