The Speech of the Mute

Crystal now breaking
Clouds starting to coalesce
The morning sea rising
Bright days starting to darken

Look at the birds, no more warbling
Nor the dogs, no longer howling
There's the car, slowly rusting
The book gathering dust - nobody reading

Wait...don't put away the crescent
Don't allow the rain to come
There's still the old folk tune and old-time friends
Of the mute, centripetally gathering
