 Silence
©️ Nona Rose 2011

There's silence in this room
          Apart from the beeping and
          Whooshing of the machines
          Apart from the coughing and
          Low murmurs of visitors
          Apart from the trolley and
          People going past outside
          Apart from the leaves and
          Branches rustling by the window
          Apart from the cars and
          Other traffic on the road below
          Apart from the birds and
          The dogs in the park opposite
          Apart from the world's noise
There's silence in this room

 @901cfa49 Beautiful and often very true. I like the rhythm, too.
