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 of my doctor and relatives, as I grow older I hear and see so much better . . . light on the river alone with birches and willows and my breath song Published - Cattails - Winter, 2016
