Silent Nights

First Week of August’s Phrase Prompt — The Silence Between the Stars

light within the darkened skies
giving off their glow
spreads through the silence of
star-dusted flow

often we can hear the silence
despite the lack of sound
while the vibration of electromagnetic
waves transmit audio rounds

nighttime sounds fall upon our ears
as if we could hear the moon rise
and the sun set
our senses betray their arrival time
their rise to my senses never forgets

the light of the heavens heard
the world round
its sight shared with everyone
with never a sound

unless you have the ears and
senses to match
that hears the silence of the
night sky
when you open its latch

light up your candles and
see if you hear
the silence each flicker brings
like the silence between stars
louder than it appears.

Thanks for reading.
