Silent ApplauseA Poem by Cherrie PalmerThe Three Tenors- of the woods.The busy day used up its light. And, with the setting Sun- fell the Night. A misty curtain covers the stage- while forest creatures line the way. A twinkling star directs their path, And a wise old Owl conducts the band. -as if queued - the Moon beams bright . Creating an alleyway to start the night. An Eastern breath removes the veil. and a landing loon swishes his tail. A whippoorwill saunters to its post. While the shy sleek dove sings alone. Soon the three meld into one, as "The Tenors," of the woods, regale us in song. Sorrow pours from this piece, And with morning light The grass will gleam. Moistened by the sorrowful notes. The tears of the forest becomes a silent applaud. © 2023 Cherrie PalmerReviews
