Quietude. 2011

sonnet

Quietude. 2011-02-24

 

Silence descends with the twilight.

Across the open countryside.

The still quietness will abide.

Until the rising sun brings light.

When chanticleer salutes the dawn

and carries out his morning rite

His hymn of thanks for the daylight.

It is for this that he was born.

The waking world is full of sound

 and will be til the sleepy calls

of roosting birds as darkness falls.

Bar for the hunters of the night.

Who revel in the lack of light.
