Sounds of silence

     the
          soft Hiss

of
a blanket sliding to the  floor...     
    
the
          Shuffle

of footsteps...       

          Banging

of a door                                 
     the
          Gurgle           
of a
boiling kettle... quickly followed by a Click...
     the
          Clacking
of metallic spoon against ceramic cup...
        a
          S l u r p...

     and a
          C r e a k i n g
of leather taking on a
weight
                                     
                                                        and             
                                                         all
                                                        the  
                                                       while…
      the
                Sighs            of                  outward               breaths,

and slow                          r            m            i             g
                              D              u             m           n
                                                                                             of a heart.
     

How full of Sound
                         these mornings
                                               of Silence!
                     
How loud with Music
                              this embrace
                                                 of the Void!

  1. I don't know much about poetry, but that's a beautiful piece and the presentation/layout is very creative. I was discussing this approach to presentation with a friend that likes to write poem, but I don't know the proper terminology.

    Nice clip of S&G... two childhood friends that bond to creative beautiful music for a turbulent generation!

    I liked the blend!
