Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Quiet

alone in my backyard
in total silence
seems so surreal

the humming of
homebound traffic
far in the background
while songs of birds
are all I hear

not a soul in sight
the world surely
is on pause

We certainly do need more communion with nature and pause in our life.
