Love Poem: Silence

Written by: Thomas Martin

Silence

It's the silence I have learned to love.  Sunrise on a nesting gull or a marsh wren's call to its mate,  the  moment  the tides shift from ebb to flow.

To the consternation to my doctor and relatives, as I grow older I hear and see so much better. . .


river light
with birches and willows
gratefully alone
with falling leaves
and my breath song
