SUDDENLY SILENT
August 16, 2007 by Shirley Allard
Trails stretch on before me
I wander through the silence
Sounds of leaves caressing trees
replacing those of violence.
Ground gives perfect camouflage
To hide a basking snake
I savor each last summer breeze
That autumn soon will take.
Summer sun and growing shade
Combine for day’s perfection
Crossing bridges crudely made
to capture its reflection.
No chance of that walk being spoiled… I think I’ll go outside and see if I can hear a leaf caress its tree. Lovely thought… thanks for sharing this with us.
