This Silence

I listen now…  and don’t hear anything.
This silence makes my heart and spirit sing.
            For two weeks has my life been led
            By water, wind and sound.
            Today, the elements have fled;
            No more can they be found.
No more, God-willing, noise and flood to bring.
