West Pound Ridge, in the State of New York
The rush of the wind
The hush of the silence
The rush of the silence
The hush of the wind
Complementing the nearby bench
with its reference to solitude,
the inscribed tree-plaque invites
appreciation of the 'sound' of the
silence or of the wind in the trees.
