There is no silence

Try it in the morning

Listen to no traffic

Voices unspoken

 

Cars and trucks parked

Dogs still slumbering

Humans wanting five minutes

Do  you hear nothing

 

Up by your ears there is

Sound coming from somewhere

Inside your head perhaps

Or from morning empty spaces

 

Layers of sound begin

To create the noisy day

Until deep in darkness

The world sighs with a hush
