SILENT MUSIC

Unhurried, soft, the
soundless snow
falls gently to the
frozen ground . . .

Such perfect stillness
sometimes seems
more musical
than any
sound!

  5. the sound of silence ... it is so beautiful.
    I love watching the snow fall ... in the dead of the night when all is asleep. All those beautiful individual snowdrops floating gently to the ground ... not a whisper. Thank you for a moment of pureness. :o)

  7. BEAUTIFUL!

    well I always say this too...sometimes the sweetest music to ears is the laughter of an innocent child or the sound of raindrops...or the footsteps sounds of a loved-one returning....

  10. Hello polona
    I too love the sound of silence!
    Glad you liked me reading the poem!
    It takes some getting used to the whole idea...and, I don't really like how it turned out, but in time I should get better at it!
    Thanks Polona!

  21. Hi avila
    How nice of you to say that!
    Thank you!
    I do appreciate it!
    It is hard getting used to the sound of our own voices...
    I do not like how I sound either..
    Maybe I do not not sound as bad
    as I think I do!

    Thanks for your vote of confidence!

    Margie:)
