&quot;No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its power of acting and reasoning as fear.&quot;<br /> -Edmund Burke

The stillness of the icy frigid night
There is a peace in the warm yet cold air
Darkness surrounds all I see is moonlight
I’m searching and looking, nobodies here
In my mind the sound echoes from the walls
It’s quiet can’t even hear my heart beat
Yet I can hear Kobe bouncing a ball
Can’t even hear, the footsteps of my feet
So quiet I can’t even hear me think
Covered in silence’s blanket I sleep
So quiet my body begins to sink
I lay my head on a pillow so deep
So quiet I cannot hear my own breath
In the silence, I can’t hear my own death

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
