Summer Sounds in Maine

For a while,
in the early morning
I hear only
the silence,
occasionally breeched
by a ducks' solitary calling
to a mate.

For a while,
in the early morning
I hear only
the whisper
of the water
as it meets
the first breeze.

Just, for a while
in the early morning
I hear only
God's music.
