Silent Sky

It’s occurred to me, Obvious as it may be, Celestial bodies make no noise! While ocean wave’s slush my ear. Or traffics din vibrates my skin, Not even a hum, from the setting sun. Dawn! Mighty sphere, gargantuan, blazing, Amazing, radiant heat that warms my face, Blinding light that quenches night! Silently. We count tick tock down here on ground, To mirror nature’s cosmic clock; Meanwhile the sun just makes its run, quietly no sound.

That is why it is so breath-takingly beautiful. Noise would distract our senses from their beauty. Very insightful and observant rendering in this amazing write, David. Lainie
