Rich Vein of Silence

The water lies still
between dark and first light,
without dawn’s warmth
to raise the wind.
In that quiet space
the movement toward morning
a rich vein of silence.

  1. Dawn in the desert
    One can hear the scritching of small dry-bred creatures hurrying home.
    The stone fountain was a gift we joyously set up last night.
    Today, filled with water bubbling over it’s square sides
    I listen to the unusual music of moisture.
    And find echoing wetness of gratitude in my eyes.
