Thirteen nuances in the silence of pre dawn
I
silence of the wind-
another blossom torn
from the Plumeria
II
what the winking stars
tell of lovers' hearts -
the silence keeps
III
except for the moon -
silence and keyboard taps
my companions
IV
the house gecko -
a movement on the wall quick
as a shadow
V
reading at night -
a page turns in tune
with the silence
VI
the wall clock ticks -
against a background of silence
its rythm stays
VII
awaiting the din
of birdsongs -
pre dawn
VIII
pre dawn -
no sound from the roosters
up in the mountain
IX
sway of leaves store -
silence and the wait
of bird songs
X
tree silhouettes -
the wind plays lightly
among the leaves
XI
drawn curtains -
pre dawn holds a silent pledge
onto itself
XII
words
in deep silence held -
in trust of poems
XIII
soft light of dawn
the songs of birds called
to delete the silence
