Silence That moment of serenity just before falling asleep The fragility of a butterfly's soft flight The flutter of eyelids as a child dreams The moment right before a cat pounces on its prey Silence knows the purpose and direction of every cloud in the sky And when it arrives every cricket starts to chirp as every tree sways and rustles its leaves to the rhythm when silence gives nature a voice Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

Krista, silence has many voices, does it not...smiling, and most of them inferred! This is a beauty and got me to thinking (albeit silently) And apologies for my own silence....sometimes I just get that way! HUGS |
