“Silence,” New Era, Sept. 2008, 49
Silence
Silence
spreads itself
over the field
thickly.
The sun melts
over the water
and sky, leaving
only drops of
red, orange, yellow,
blue, and pink.
The trees
reach out to
the moon
who’s out
unneccessarily
but watches,
pleased with what he sees.
Night is falling.
