Can I Hear Silence?
The sky outside is missing its sun.
The day is over and it has had its fun.
The children are all cozy,
in their comfy beds.
The gurgling fish tank
whispers loudly from the kitchen.
The clock ticking
can actually be heard.
The melodic dripping of water
drowns out my thoughts.
The traffic outside
fills in the blanks.
The breathing of little people
keeps time with the wind.
My husband beside me
is sawing some logs.
The soft music I play while the children sleep
distracts me from slumber.
In the noise of the day
I long for the silence.
Can I ever hear silence?
What does silence sound like?
