Late-night silence

When the hustle of the day comes to a rest
When the loud machines come to a halt
Comes the late-night silence
Something I’ve been longing for all-day

A wave of tranquility takes over me
My mind attains a level of peacefulness
I untangle my thoughts for today
Sitting on the end of a long stairway

It felt good to remove my mask for the day
The mask that covered my introverted face
As night’s air touched me like rose petals
A gush of serotonin released in my bloodstream walls

I ask myself if I was satisfied with today
As I reach for my book for the day
For my introverted self loves myself and books
More than anything else, in this late-night silence
