All Is Quiet In The Room

Listen to the silence
hear it's joyful tune
pray upon it's peace,
all is quiet in the room.

No more heavy footsteps
no more hit and run
no more angry words
all is quiet in the room.

Awakened now by daylight
cradled in it's warmth
darkness no longer an enemy
all is quiet in the room.

Sympathy comes once in a while
while the past will fade with time.
Fear will no more be a curse
for all is quiet in the room.

Love the atmosphere of this, and the way you keep bringing it back to that dead-stop focus with the "all is quiet" line... well done!

Awakened now by daylight
craddled in it's warmth
darkness no longer an enemy
all is quiet in the room.

This really makes the poem for me...the opposites you use
daylight - darkness
warmth, craddled, - enemy, quiet

one thing i would say...is maybe find a way to kill the repitition of the all is quiet in the room...maybe...or changing the structure abit...it might really unlock the feelings buried here...it seems almost restrained...i hope that helps...very well done..
