When silence speaks

We listen to the sound of our heartbeat 
something we take for granted 
we also take for granted 
when the sky is calm and empty 
when branches stiffen and don't move 
all animals become chatterless 
just as the eclipse came 
even the temperature went cold 
everything bowed it's head 
and rested for a minute 
when a silent speaks 
God listens
