The air turned clean and glassy,

The empty cup froze, gone mute,
the chaotic hum of movement stopped.

Light lies upon the stone wall through the window,

The air turned clean and glassy, still and clear,
while heavy grey silt settled to the floor.
Empty, the cup froze mute; no sound came near,
the hum of movement's chaos is no more.
One drop falls from the branch - and all we hear
is hushed in this small drop: the whole uproar.
Light through the window lies upon the stone;
its presence - all we're given. That alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
