My sanctuary

The silence is falling down on me.
The loudness of the day has past.
What used to be a cramped place with no places,
is now almost empty and ready to accommodate you.

Stress, anxiety, chatter, laughter, class discussions, were all here a few hours ago.
Now it's quiet, silent, calm.

People in here don't run anymore,
they slowly stroll down the aisles.
People no longer queue a life time for a coffee,
I just went straight up and asked for it.

The campus library.
In the evening.
It's my sanctuary.
