A Silent Room
As the continuous rain trickles from the roof and the gentle breeze stirs
the windchimes to play tunes, a bird warbles chere, chere to a lady friend who
answers cheer. The rain is cold and uninviting to humans but birds must ignore
such a small inconvenience to love affairs and courtship. Their chirps to each other
get closer. One has moved into the Holly Bush about ten feet closer to the one bird
in the Pear Tree.
a truck's motor hums
in the distance as it speeds...
rain 'pon the road sings
The gentle breeze blows cold mist from the rain upon the old lady in the rocker
out on the porch. She shivers and writes a few more words in her notebook before
retreating into the warm, dry and comfortable home. She thanks God for a few minutes
to enjoy the creation and the creator.
the aroma of
food cooked for lunch lingers...
a silent room
