The silence here hums.
Distant highways and neighborhood diesels
clocks ticking and breathing
always
one breath after another
hearts beating
quietly beneath the surface
like starfish feeling their quiet way
underwater.
The silence here hums
with life and all its trappings.
Wind in the trees
evidence of things unseen
of a God who breathes life
always
into one and then another.
hearts beating
quietly beneath the surface
glory, glory, glory
testifying in each chest
of the One who sings over us
in the humming silence.
