They're rare, and unexpected.
It could be an ordinary
evening out, but the congregation
of crickets and nightly creatures
hold their performances and
emphasize the far-from-ordinary
Air of calm that overwhelms you

On these days, when life
presents itself to you
with unnerving certainty
And you are suddenly surrounded
by an unfathomable feeling of quiet

It is on these days
that you became confronted
with two possibilities:
That you either have no
cause of tears anymore
Or, that you have none left
to cry at all

The distinction is hard
to make, but days like that?
I almost live for them.
