Silence

It's the silence I have learned to love. Sunrise on a nesting gull or a marsh wren's call to its mate, the moment the tides shift from ebb to flow. To the consternation to my doctor and relatives, as I grow older I hear and see so much better. . . river light with birches and willows gratefully alone with falling leaves and my breath song Published Cattails January 2016

Oh, I love this. That last line - "and my breath song" is the perfect way to end this tribute to nature and silence. Just beautiful!
