End of year poem.

So in the course of looking for work and writing articles and all that stuff, I found myself sitting in my quiet house the other day enjoying the world's silence.  Then, of course, the silence was broken by the most incredible sounds.  We've all heard it before, but to me it was a revelation and inspiration even.  From my broken silence was born a poem.

Geese Cacophony

Kimberly L McClune

December 29, 2012

Afternoon silence

Quiets the heart

Like dusk descending slowly

Across the horizon

A slow crescendo

Dawns on the senses

Gradual growing

Cacophony

Non-rhythmic squawks

Unharmonious honks

Out of sync

Untimely

Noise grows across the sky

Honks and flaps

In scattered V

Graceless beauty

Headed South

Focused and determined

The geese cacophony

Flies

This simple poem is a revelation because I have been so caught up in trying to find a job and doing all the other massively important things that must be done in a life that I have not written anything new and creative in quite a few months. 

I hope this poem brings to mind the very experience of having your silence broken by such uncoordinated song birds. 

Do enjoy the last moments of this year and take time to think back on the joys and only the joys for the remainder must be left behind at midnight.
