In the Silence

The rooster crowed 

before the sun rise 

and the train whistle

caught me by surprise.

The stream dry 

and the river still 

as the raven watches

from yonder hill. 

All went quiet

and the silence spoke

and your name 

with the darkness broke.

They say "time heals"

but I found it standing still,

holding on to yesterday 

as the memories found their

way.
