Listening To Silence

Looking out the window I didn't see a sound Nothing out there moving The world on solid ground No birds were out there singing No rustling of the leaves Is the river flowing But silent as a breeze? Was I really seeing The absence of all sound? Or was I only hearing The silence all around?
