Green Silence
The Catholics go to mass
the sprinklers spitter and spout,
the whole world is quiet
but my thoughts ring so loud
I hear an owl who
while the Shimmer Trees shake,
the locusts chirp in the trees
as the whole world begins to wake
The people are silent in their slumber
it's nature's time to shine,
clouds but no roar of thunder
until the bells begin to chime
It is the loudest nothingness I have ever heard
a language I cannot speak only feel,
a symphony of green silence
this is where I feel most real
A distant plane interrupts
the park's mysterious noise,
the land remains ever still
as the trees hold their poise
The breeze makes them chatter
I feel my hair blowing with the wind
right here nothing else matters
I hope this morning will never end.
