Silence
By Michelle Webster-Hein

Today there was the slumbering hush of a house in the morning with everyone else asleep, then the vacant stillness of an empty house in the afternoon. There was the pensive quiet of a room filled with students scribbling exams, the bashful silence when only one remained. And finally, at the end of all the quiet and the noise, the tranquil lull of a book, a bath, and a child asleep.
