Almost audible

Today is Julian*s day.  It seems fitting it would be a morning for quiet.  

This is a morning for quiet;
For the still small voice
To sound almost audible,
In the background sounds of bird
And train,
The movement of the hands
On the clock,
The vines
Growing on the front columns:
Almost audible.
This is the morning for quiet,
For the still small voice.
This is a morning for quiet,
The still small voice,
Almost audible,
Not production
Of new thoughts
Or language,
Not concern for the place
I occupy
In the world.
Not anything
But stillness
Smallness
Knowledge there is always the voice
Underneath
Almost audible.
