David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Ten Kinds of Quiet

Ten Kinds of Quiet  
David J Walker


Some are messages 
Floating in a sunburst breeze 
Catching in limbs of 
          Sycamore trees
          Meant for me 
But only those 
That I could read 
          While swiftly flying by

Meanings modified
In a rising sun
          The day has begun 
          Traffic lights
          Coffee shops 
A dry run of
Conversations 
Taking place later 
          Rather than sooner
Sometime today 

There are ten kinds of quiet
Or so I have read 
          Nothing said 
In the rest of the mornings 
          contemplations
