Silence

Speak slow and quiet,  they will listen
whisper soft and low.Can you hear the  
spider walk across the floor?
shsh listen, listen, listen.
  ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...;!
Yes that was the  morning mist
before the collared dove awakes
soft and sort of white ( well maybe grey)
 
The house is speaking listen to the house
while you sleep it whispers to the stars
who whisper back and tell the moon.
 
What was that? Did you hear ?
Perhaps it was your heart.I think it was
heard it once before.' Lub dub' it says
'Lub dub' as the clock points to the time
saying not a word, the chimes switched off.
 
Golden silence priceless gold untarnished  
precious sonorous silence with gentle beat.
Hear the whispered sighs as lovers love
and black birds murmur to their brood.
 
Silence their safety as foxes prowl,
   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...   ...!
a cat silent beneath the tree.
Hedgehog curling to a ball, gentle snores
the only sound tonight.
