Elusive Silence-by Susan Thomas

thunderous footsteps
trampling down the hallway
looking for an exit
frantically searching
for the glowing exit door
dangerous footsteps
soon follow
frantic cries
now echo thought the chamber walls
the shrill voice
sends shivers up my spine
longing for the noise to stop
desperately seeking silence
shrill cries that echo
fall on deaf ears
dangerous foot steps
soon conquer the frantic
a loud bang echoes
the chamber walls
followed by a thumping
silence falls on the chamber walls
a smile creeps across my face
oh sweet silence
how I missed thee
but what's this
now guilty thoughts
invade my silence
will there ever
be peace
once more
