Sound Of Now

Chatterbox, the stones that rattled then are scattered now
ragged tattered sounds fall slowly still.
Silence swallows speech.
Still in stillness, hearing heartbeat, beat of surf on beach,
water whispers over stones, through veins and bones.
Scattered stones regathered now,
new sound of surf surrounding now,
speaking drowned in whisper-sound of surf. Now.
Now.
Now.
Speaking drowned in whisper-sound of now.
