THE SILENT DIFFERENCE

At night traffic sounds different...
More peaceful, somehow romantic.
During the day it's just violent;
yet something mysterious takes
place during the twilight.

Night's traffic is showered
with the stillness of the dark,
and a new world begins to unravel.
At night, traffic sounds like a boat
breaking waves under the moon light.
This gives me peace; and I think
about how completely opposite these two
worlds are. However, perception
depends on the individual.

A person who only pays attention to
traffic and nothing else becomes
entangled in the web of traffic;
they are part of it.

The on-lookers can analyze this traffic,
listen to it, and experience a
moment of "oceanic tranquility".
