The Quiet From The Road Poem by Patti Masterman

The Quiet From The Road



I wonder will they bring the quiet back from the road;
The quiet where the trees fingers reach the sky,
Quiet of the graceful geese sweeping by,
Quiet of an airplane shadowed above,
Peace of the fence line's lowly shrub.

The low keening of a coyote's howl,
More silent preening of the wild fowl,
The quiet of water in trembling spring,
But silence above everything else seen-

And I wonder will silence stay close by,
Or slowly wander, a cloud in a sky?
