Silence
Silence
Silence waits in the grave.
On the mountain peaks the wind
whispers of eternity
in the deepest abyss the darkness
echoes with liquid dreams
in the stillness of starless night
blood pounds in the ear
in the sun-speckled spaces in the wood
the cricket saws and sings
birds punctuate the drowsy air
insects buzz and creak
distant highways hum and thrum
cities converse in traffic tones
microwaves beep
and teevees chatter
children yell
and dogs bark.
Silence waits in the grave.
