Silence

the silence of sand

swallowing voices

***

dunes whisper their secret

they travel one grain at a time

***

the end of day

snuggled against the horizon

***

night sky dropping in sheets over land--

stars appearing reluctantly

nocturnal lives begin their day--

by thin light from a cold, white moon

***

song of no sound, clear and sweet--

reverberation of silence, falling down

but granting my greetings through lucent air

to the distant farm dog calling

when I read that some liked. silence, I remembered this----I wrote it on a high desert

[ROMARY]

Silence is refreshing..........Yoga of the mind.

Nice...I love the line: ""they travel one grain at a time""

I can hear, smell, taste, and see these images in my mind.

Not overdone with cliched metaphors or overwrought descriptions. Just the right, light touch.

Beautiful poem.
