Times Like These

When silence is all you need

Sojourn into a vacuum of time and space

In an ultimate and utter lack of distraction.

Let your mental chittering fall into the bright black void,

Entertain thoughts as you would dear friends.

Night or day, let cacophony be now destroyed.

Care not that sound is lacking interaction

Ever as your mind at rest begins to slow its pace.

Acrostic
