listening

silence
in the darkened church
listening for sound
candles flicker
does flame make sound?
gradually I hear the strains of a distant violin
my favorite sound of dissonance...
tuning...
somewhere in the back sanctuary
then begins from that distance
the soft refrain of one of my favorite hymns
at the break of the day
at the noon of the day
at the eve of the day
at the end of the day
listening for sound
now far away...
