Silently awaiting noises
To hear if my noises
Are also heard noises

Slumbers Edge (day 769)
And I the wild wonderer
In peace’s embrace
Sharing splendid solitude
With sunset’s hues
Tickling my toes
With warm lapping water
Pants then be rolled up
To half mast thy knee
And off in the distance
Summer night noises ring out
Young men of mischief
Swamp frogs lament
Bat fluttering hither
Mosquitoes racing thither
And across the calm lake
In desperate moments of light
The last mooring boat
Settles in for the night
Campfire left smouldering
In the wake of many (hot)dogs
And I, toes now dripping
Make my way to slumbers edge
Silently Quiet (day 714)
It’s quiet in here
If you’re ignoring the voices
Screaming back at me
Inside my head
I can hear the dull tones
From the black box next to me
Spinning around methodically
While I go about my work
Wind blows through trees
Shimmering with a gentle sway
But that’s outside
Beyond the confines of a window
Entrapped, the house is still
Drooping plants are silently
Calling out to me
For just a splash more of water
My typing makes noises
But that sound dies
When I take moments to think
Jumping deeper inside my head
Paintings hang with memories
Time faded memories
But the image: unwaveringly visible
Clearly pulls on my thoughts
Fruits in the silver bowl
Work hardest at these times
Heat of day and sunlight curing
Hardness and tart green
The refrigerator will kick on
Every now and then
To remind me of lunch to come
Scraps of what is now left over
While I wait here
Looking at my reflection
Silently shining back at me
Curious smeared everywhere
