Waves of Silence

The wind whispered as it rushed by my ear

Like none other, the sweet sound of winter silence

To which I see the icy waves, but don’t fear

The white snow and cool air are in alliance

The houses ripple and sway, the snow

Muffling the sounds normally heard

I hear the crack of ice falling

It fell to my left so I turned

And exhaled and thought about this season

Where houses lay in tiny rows

Of land like a blanket, bereft of reason

Where the wave will stop, no one knows
