Songless Bird

I perch on a rock by white teal-roofed bungalows, resting after my journey. Autumn's early bloom is a choir of falling leaves by a quiet rippling stream. The silence deafens as bright notes waft like snowflakes to earth in Fall's madrigal. I, a songless bird, rejoice in observation. The rippling stream chimes for me.
