hello darkness, my old friend....

i've come to talk with you again

because a vision softly creeping

 left its seeds while i was sleeping

and the vision that was planted in my brain

still remains

within the sounds of silence

Simon & Garfunkel

My two guys,

stood on the porch as the sun set.

I wandered in silence,

to capture a few new buds

in the golden light

before darkness fell.

There was traffic out front,

some chirping birds

and a neighbor's music floating on the breeze.

But I was lost in silence.

The silence that comes when I'm 

alone with my thoughts.

Focused.

Sounds and time just seem to fade away.

As I climbed up the stairs to the back deck,

I heard easy conversation flowing between 

father and son.

Such a simple thing.

Such a sweet sound to break my silence.

It wasn't hard to stand in this moment
and know that it far exceeded
any vision ever planted in my brain
while day dreaming or night dreaming.

Having grown up kids is wonderful.
