Silence In Between
Dec 28, 2020
Owls sing arias merge in chilled night air.
Outwits all, fox slinks home, secluded lair
Field mice scurry, rustles copper blemished fall.
Nightingales recite songs, echoes dusks mating call
Wispy white breath, whispered sigh.
Trees like ridged watchmen under darkening sky
Footsteps fall, crisp, crunching pace.
Scarf thrown , wrapped reddened face
Sombre sound, doleful howl strikes the night.
Listen, just ahead, out of sight
Walks beside chattering stream, beats a silence in between.
Inner reflections whisper through.
Collar up, foggy dew.
