A Time for Quiet

Silence is golden after a period of chaos.

Chaos to my writing
is what careful dedication, 
soil, and water are to a seed. 
I thrive and grow within 
the increasingly stifling limits of strife 
until I'm able to cast a shadow over it. 
But there some days where resting 
within a rut is preferable
because ground already traversed 
is a space too cliché 
for chaos to reign 
but not silence
and peace.
