Tranquility
My ear drums vibrate not in this languid air.
The bustle of urbanity gone somewhere
Else and left me here to listen unprotected
From the cacophony always detected
Where humans gather and helplessly vibrate.
Perhaps a glimpse into our ultimate fate.
It is a surprise to hear nothing at all -
Not a bird's twitter or a ripe apple's fall,
And a pleasant one I might add with a smile -
I will return and rest my weary ears awhile.
