Silence

Ask the waves
to turn back
whence they come from
Ask the seas to keep the quiet
and stop
the birds from singing
the bees from buzzing
the bells from ringing
the wind from blowing
the river from flowing
the hoots
the toots
the shoots
the brutes
the barks and howls
the cocks and fowls
ask them don’t stir for a while
a tiny thought
in the heart is turning
about to rise
from a deep slumber.
