Sounds of Silence

“Never miss a good chance to shut up.” ~ Will Rogers

The presence of first light

This silence speaks volumes

The landscape is sparse yet striking

One can hear the sounds of yesterday

This feeling that today will provide answers

It is so welcomed in these times of uncertainty

And that tomorrow is wide open

i remember the sound of silence
it would be very kool to experience it again
won't happen! the static in my brain is deafening ... 24/7
i do not remember NOT hearing it ... maybe it is sanity trying to break thru? HA!
i'm happy so it don't matter

as always your words cause my brain to engage
always wise always rewarding
thanks mucho friend!

Today has yet to break its silence, at dawn
the first rays sparkle off dew or frost or snow
followed by a rooster’s crow and we know
Yesterday rescinds its front row seat for another
👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

Red, thank you for the visit and sharing. Its been many years since I've a rooster's crow :(

Very apt symbolism in this one, with the dawn representing the hopes for the new day. The sounds of yesterday can still be heard, but the new light buoys us up. Indeed a good metaphor for our tenuous times.

The Hope of a new day, a new dawn, expressed beautifully!

Dylan, thank you for the visit and comment, sadly that's not my view. I walk the dogs in a wooded area not far from the house.
