While you were here and not gone away,
yours was the sound, yours the presence,
and yours alone was the silence around.
Now all the time that you are away,
I hear the sound the moon makes,
the sound of the dewdrops and the snowflakes,
the sound in which the nightflowers sing,
the sound the moonlight makes as it falls in the pond. 
Every sound that I did not hear
is now furiously loud and clear.

+Souheil Ghammachi Thanks for the image and the lines of the caption. Both inspired this poem
at some noise I awake....
is that the moon shining,
or has dawn come? 🌝
my nights are like this
all the time you are away
