Tiny in the sounds of Silence



Even lonely nights flee from silence.
They too have their notes to lend,
how robust are the songs in chorus                                                                                                                                                        when the evening act begins.
The night hides the performance                                                                                                                                      when the actors take a bow,
playing a part on nature’s stage,
pleading the ear to marvel how.
Small mysteries of the night come calling 
and the plots are never the same.
and the music is live  and keenly written 
In the world of tiny things.                                                                      The moon is the director,  
setting the stage for all to play.
The wind loosens a falling leaf                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      and a mouse scurries away.
Diminutive is the cities                                                                                                                                             insignificant to all above,
A world in perfect order                                                                                                                                                         yet void of the feelings of love.
The spider spins his tiny web                                                                                                                                                  just above the ground,
it seems to appear in diamonds of dew                                                                                                                                     how trifling is the tiny sound?
A cricket singing his nightly song                                                                                                                                             the frog croaking on the pond,
a night- time serenade of voices                                                                                                                                           and the silence is over and done.

thanks Silent One for kind words. You know Silence is never pure silence for there are the tiny sounds but also "The Sound of Silence." Thanks again for reading.
