Saturday Night Stillness

The city hums beyond my walls,
But I am home where silence falls.
No party lights, no crowded rooms,
Just quiet corners and fading blooms.

The clock ticks softly, the kettle sings,
The comfort only stillness brings.
A blanket draped, a book in hand,
No need to meet the world’s demand.

I watch the moon climb up the sky,
And let the restless minutes fly.
Some say I’m missing all the fun—
I say the peace is hard-won.

No need for noise to feel alive,
No chase to chase, no race to drive.
Just me and night, and calm delight,
Alone, not lonely—
And that’s all right.
