a day of uninterrupted silence
Not one sound
No bird speak
A gray day with drizzling rain
The dogs and I sit listening
To silence
In the distance there are no sirens
We are a long way from the city
Country living brings a distinct placidness
Nothing is moving
Wait
There is one tiny waving leaf
I listen for one of my chimes
But even they are still
It is like watching a movie on mute
A day of uninterrupted silence
My heart beats a little more slowly
I feel in tune with the leaf
