Silence on the line

Can you hear what I’m saying

Help me reconnect

Deafening silence

Outside people rush and roar

Still I feel alone

Click creek burble hiss

Steamed water flows through fresh grounds

Pleasures of coffee

Towel, ladle, bench

Wood-burning stove glowing red

Sauna… sit, sweat, steam

Quack duck quack flap quack

Crash quack over quack pond quack free

Quack fly quack bye

Lightning sparks smoke fire

Flames licking up trunks higher

Situation dire

White touching the sky

Oh to hike from base to peak

Snow covered mountain

Why so dark tonight?

Warm fire, full moon shining bright.

Depression blinds light.

See blue sky at dawn

Endless possibility

Hopeful joy this day
