While sitting in the silence of the morning, I heard a mourning dove sing its song, finches and others filling the moments with theirs.

I thought how fortunate I was to hear this fullness of sound, mixed with the slight shadows cast from the flowering cherry and apple trees. 

Sometimes though all I hear is the cacophony of bells, whistles, exhaust notes, and the popping of gunshots in the distance.
