Sunlight dances on

the gurgling of a stream

and laughs joyously.

in sounds of silence

always a new creation

we’re cocooned in god

Wild geese overhead

chant and clatter to each other

Scratches on window frame

Lizards squeeze to catch black widows

Underneath the facia.

This is a suspenseful drama all in three lines! I love this

Didn't think of it as suspenseful, but I guess it is a little garden drama.

the tap tap tapping drones on

soothes battered edges

i'm awash, adrift, alone

born out of silence

ash in the wind, let it rain

dies back in silence
