Fragmented Silence

Rain drops like glitter, once spilled, you can find it upon everything in the vicinity

Car tires accelerate against the odds,

the rain soaked asphalt iterates tsssssss as the car makes the distance

A gust of wind gathers itself, building momentum and before it blows, a moment of stillness

and where no other sounds are heard, and then whisssh

Life resumes along with the push

Lights flicker across the road, children hushed away indoors

The voice of reason reserved an optimistic seat at the table today
