In the Silence
And after all the noise
only when your soul settles
does the mournful song of the wind come from your cracked window
yearning
searching for a partner to join its duet
It screeches and howls, then quiets as if it awaits a response
The rain aims to console
Its scattered drops beat a rhythm
It fills in the space left by the silence
For now
The wind resumes its melody
She quiets yet again
My heart beats to the rhythm of the rain
In this stillness, I exhale
A reverberation of her song
But she does not hear me
She lets out another cry
pleading for an answer
