Evening Knowledge

Is this the reason why most of us sometimes find it difficult to be alone and quiet, to be by ourselves?

This poem starts out observing the environment with descriptions of the natural world and human endeavours. However, by the end of the piece, we are taken to a powerful scene that we soon realise is happening within.
