The Quiet Orchard
- Details
- Written December 2025
So, it's nothing strange for them -
Relying on lip movements
To give meaning to converse,
So feel at home in the quietness
Where nothing moves,
Branches emptying
As ripened apples became fallers,
Leaves preparing for mulching
As the magpie scratches
Searching for something better,
But pecks away satisfied with nothing
In the silence of a quiet space.
