Serenity In Vexation Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

More thought
Serenity in vexation propense
More reason
More plan
In to the works of night
When all silence will be
When all silence will
Fall
Not merely winter
But in summer too
The thrall
Of the night be:
Said the Monsignor:
How will silence remain
If all awake the humans be?
Spoke then the Poet Seer:
That
As with our choice of Night
Over the Day on us depends:
We
Must a civilization be, a way of
Life
Conduct in silence to the night’s
Respect
Do things but silent,
Not work with trumpeting,
No, no,
Things and events be done in
Silence equally
As things we do now
Yet
Not the same things:
Not wars, not injustices, not ill
Not sheer necessity of laws
But still
An ever-evolutionary will
Ever-increase, silent suffering,
Advance without trumpeting.
