Winter Silence
Low gray clouds line the sky
no chattering from the squirrels
finished with their food gathering
only silence
tiny snow birds line the fence post
the rest gone for the winter
not a sound to be heard
only silence
the snow starts to fall
smoke rises from chimney tops
the river below runs quietly over the dam
still only silence
The best time of all is when the snow just
begins to fall and everything is cuddling
up to brace against the cold
then there is only silence.
