Ten Kinds of Quiet

Listen to poem:
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
