 I switch off all lights,  
sit, anticipating inspiration  
from the darkness absorbing me.  
 
Nothing :  
No bird song reaches my ears  
to break the silence;  
save the night wind  
across the threshold.  
 
Hugging both knees,  
hair tucked behind my ears;  
I listen to the whispering leaves,  
imagining the dancing trees.
