Silence is Noisy

sitting on the porch 
         listening to the quiet
the gurgle of waterfalls in the pool 
the wave-like buzz of the thirteen year cicadas
the roar of the passing boat 
      competes with the loud music of the skiers 
      and the occasional holler of excited success      
the wind blowing through the trees 
       scattering leaves on the fresh-cut grass
the song of the birds - i cannot name 
          yet love to hear


silence can be so noisy when i listen to it
