“Six Ways of Listening to Silence”

I.
The lake water stilled
with the quieting wind.

II.
The density of the silence
diffused
for the entry of a thunderclap.

III.
The wind between the trees sounded
as a symphony
of undulating silences.

IV.
Always there is
a certain silence contained within a din of motion
and a subtle roar pervading the implicit din of stillness;
And I wonder if the world was conceived
from quietude or sonancy.

V.
I thought I heard contained
in the mob’s collective chant
the same singular silence felt upon a midnight lake.

VI.
I saw the face of the midnight moon
reflected in the quiet stillness of the lake.
