Soliloquy by Stephanie Thompson

Soliloquy

by Stephanie Thompson

Frolicking through the forest

dripping off the leaves

bouncing around the tree trunks

trickling like a stream

is the melody of a quiet forest.

The crunching of brown leaves

the rustle of vines

the whisper of violets

and the hum of bees

is harmony in a quiet forest.

The cheery whistle of a cardinal

or the chatter of a squirrel

the breath of breezes

and the noise of many little creatures

is a symphony in silence.
