Sound beyond sound
hiss of tea kettle
clatter of pans on burners
drip-dripping of coffee
scrape of chair legs on floor
soft crack of spoon on eggshell
slurp from a cup
hum of the refrigerator
beyond the window
above silent, new snow
bird song

There is a beautiful "in the moment" zen quality to this poem, mb. I love the sound of it.
sounds like a perfect day to me
peace

Oh yes, I recognize those sounds
Love the way you put them together
Brrrrrr from cold lips! More coffee, please.
Yummy breakfast and my favorite tunes!!
wow! what wonderful ambiance you have created in these few lines, enhanced by the photos!
The dance between silence and sound is beautiful.
How well you've captured a morning with new snow outdoors. Glad to have you back, writing lovely poems and sharing great photos.
You make me long for spring, MB!
tea
Mmmm, this makes me HUNGRY!
I love the way the 2 photos are like negatives of each other...
and the bird is so cute!
(the photos would make a great textile or wallpaper design...)
I heard that bird song this week. Thank you for this.
And there I thought the bird was brave and forlorn--of course, I just came back to the snows from the Carolinas, and would see him that way.
Nice photos--so pretty with trees white with snow.
All those lovely home-sounds...*sigh*.
:-)
Well, I can hear our fridge humming that it's time for me to get breakfast and go...
Robin Andrea, that was my purpose. Thanks.
Floots, it was a start, anyway. Thank you.
Michelle, I appreciate that very much.
Endment, that's the way I heard them.

Mermaid, silence is what makes music.

Pauline, me too!
Zhoen, but of course. For you, anything.
Firebird, it makes me happy that you noticed the two photos are like negatives of each other. I love your idea of using the images for a textile design!
Bitterroot, it doesn't surprise me that you were listening, too.
Marly, singing when brave and forlorn is the best thing one can do!
Pecos blue, nice to see you here. The trees were very pretty indeed.
Lori, home-sounds and beyond-sounds go well together.
