silence on a Sunday

it is so calming to sit in silence on a Sunday.

listening deeper, there is more to it

rustle of the leaves in the wind

syncopated sounds of exterior insects

the kids not doing their chores upstairs

snippets of imaginary games floating down

the silence is full of noise, full of life

of action and life filling up the home, but not crowding it

that will leave empty silence once they grow up.
