Perfectly quiet,
except for my beating heart
and echoing ears.
Crows gather in the tall trees.
Evening creeps in long shadows.

There is definitely peace in your words and form. There is even peace in the gathering of crows.

I see what you mean about you and me being on the same page—those crows! I wonder if a crow knows a moment’s peace? Probably only when it settles in for the night, blending in with the shadows.

How beautiful the sound of silence, and if the crows call out it makes it much sadder. What a beautiful poem.
