tonight I heard silence again
I walked my dogs and it was then
in the darkest dark of night
nature had polished all stars so bright
that I stood still in open land
dimmed the flashlight in my hand
even the dogs I didn't hear
a moment that I hold most dear
when nature plays it's symphony
sometimes I think only for me
the silence rhapsody

tonight I heard her song again
I listened for a while and then
a little bird was joining in
and I got goosepimples on my skin
so pure a sound was seldom heard
duet between silence and a bird
I stood frozen to the ground
this place to live that I have found
I wouldn't know where else to be
when nature's playing it's symphony
the silence rhapsody

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love Mother Nature's symphony so much and to hear the birds sing in stillness is the most gorgeous warbling of all! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Awesome, I love poems with references to
nature in them, and you accomplished that
in a very unique way. Thank you for sharing
this with everybody.

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.

Ahh I always enjoy these moments of total stillness so very much, maybe that's why I'm a nightmoth.

Thanks for the 'h' Marge, you're a sweet.

Knuffels to you all

Hi Mom, yes I know you love this silence too as you do love this whole countryside.
You're always roaming around nature in that scooter of yours. Love you too dear Mom.

This Diamond, I'm glad it did, thanks
