I feel the quiet of the night,
feel its peace.
Not even do I hear
the animals breathe.
This quiet
goes beyond
the sounds of the world.
It is the quiet
of between dimensions,
a quiet quieter than
a cat’s paws on thick carpet.
If I sit and listen I’ll hear
murmurs of another world,
the murmurs become voices.
At the same time
I hear this world
in that place beyond thought.
