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
