Out of the silence

A tentative note sings in a silence.

It evokes a second note, in harmony with the first.

Their chord invites more notes -- 

a rush, a torrent, that dances like raindrops,

a bouquet, a cascade,

a swirl of swallows etching

fractal patterns in the skies,

never to be forgotten. 

A tentative glance hovers in a silence.

It evokes another glance, shyly intimate.

Their accord invites communion,  

builds connections -- a meeting of minds 

that blossoms like sunflowers 

turning to greet the morning sun.

The bubble around them shimmers, shines, 

never to be forgotten.

A tentative word breaks the silence.

It evokes other words that combine into a chorus 

that strikes a chord, inviting idle minds

to venture beyond stale horizons. 

Insights scatter rose petals,

bring rain to parched imaginations.

 promise a path through darkling plains,

never to be forgotten. 

A tentative thought drifts into the silence.....
