At peace [poem]]

The sun has set and,
Life on my part of the world has stopped for the moment.
I feel more alive than I have in months,
As I sit and gaze at the darkness.

I wish I could touch the invisibility,
Of the night.
Just to be sure that it's real.
To be sure that it is there.

I can hear waves in the distance,
The low call of an owl.
I can feel the wind on my skin,
And I can smell the scent of the rain.

Serenity engulfs me,
And for the first time in what seems like years,
I let myself feel the peace,
That is slowly over taking me.
