Shush!!

poem by: Tony Matthews
Written on Mar 22, 2017

What do we want when we ask for silence?
What is it we hear when we want our silence?

Silence is the sound of nature.

Pitter patter of tiny rustling feet.
Birds singing at the break of dawn.

Silence is the sound of nature.

Howling of wind.
Stillness of the air.

Silence is the sound of nature.

Sound of the sea, crashing of waves.
Whale song, beautiful and calming.

Silence is the sound of nature.

Sound of rain, tap, tap, tapping.
Smell of electricity in thunder storms air.

Silence is the sound of nature.

What do we want when we ask for silence?
What is it we hear when we want our silence?
