Is there silence resting with these stones?
Or do the voices go unheard?
Do the spirits speak: explaining, exclaiming, lamenting, rejoicing?
But we hear nothing but the silence.
Waiting our time to join earlier travelers.
Will we too murmur into the quietness?
But no one hears but the silence?
Ah, I don’t feel guilty reading this at the office as it is work related.

A take off on “Our Town”. I can’t imagine the cacophony if we could hear all those voices.

It is good I’m not psychic. I don’t want to hear that cacophony.
