-- Such Silence --
John Herlihy
A smoke that thunders,
A waterfall that plunders.
A rainbow suddenly glows,
Drooping lilacs that dose.
Mountain peaks ever thrill,
The darksome night ever still.
Moonlight falls as ocean ray,
A field of red poppies at play.
Winter snowflakes fall quiet,
The birds at sunset sing a riot.
Awesome stars as night sparks,
A lonely comet mystery imparts.
Listen to the smoke, to the snow,
Such silence interrupted by a crow.
