We distract ourselves
All hours of the day
Going about our lives
Our attention divided
But once were home
The leaves go still
And reach a moment of quiet
A moment of reflection
You see what you have done
Who you are
What lies ahead
Whether you like it or not
And in this brief period
Where your attention isn’t called
You can see your true self
In a new revealing light
Some find peace in these moments
Others find it terrifying
It’s all perspective
When you hear the silence
