Sketched in the Mind

Are You Up There? Looking for a Chat!

Quiet is the moment
tall barren trees stand still
motionless are the roots 
cling to their own windowsill

Where is human motion
turn to look the other way
all is quiet no one to greet
for a leisurely chat today

Still cold outside one hides
spring brings a brighter look
those hidden will submerge
again let's chat by the brook

People who converse with others
find joy many love to share
happiness consumes conversation
lives to be taken everywhere
