word of the day: silence

in the sweetness of the night, katydids and crickets sing,

serenading as a choir in their courtship flourishing. 

in the sweetness of the night, catch the magick of the moon.

praise the matchmaking of Luna — hope my love approaches soon. 

in the sweetness, in the peace, in the softened summer air, 

flirting fireflies, released, flash their golden lantern-flares.     

          let our leaden lives unwind, sink our problems to forget. 

          let the silence of our minds lay our heavy hearts to rest.
