I went to the stream
In my little rocky cave
Which was lit up blue
By crystals spreading around
Then I walked outside
‘How are you?’ I asked
Nobody answered
The fall continued to plunge
Splashing in the rocks
The birds chattered
Some even sang
A squirrel scrabbled about
With its nut
Protectively in its arm
Muttering something
The tree blew in the wind
Waving, as if to say, Hi
The grass whistled
In the morning Sun
Which glowed merrily
Up far away
In the sky
And I breathed in
The fresh air of the woods
Untainted by the smoke
And I knew
They were doing great
Because
Silence speaks a thousand words
