Music in silence Is the swish of leaves on trees The shush of the breeze The smiles on buttercups The sweet clovers wishing you luck The coy wiles of roses And the big blue sky that never imposes The sound of frost creeping over every blade of grass at night The first, and last, few rays of light The brush of feathers And dew straining on silken tethers The silhouette of seas afar The promise and hush of sleepy stars The sun warmed dirt beneath our feet; The song of silence never misses a beat
