no bird sings
a moment awake
with the thinking God
who sleeps

Nice! You capture it well in just a few strokes.
So real. There is a lot of feeling in your words.
Concise, sweet and profound!
a moment awake

who sleeps – awesome, Mike!
I can imagine this — both the sight and the silence! And the irony of the thinking god who sleeps! Love it!
Mid- month and every cylinder firing. Not one word extra not one left out.
