SILENCE acrostic

Sofly, barely noticeable, a susurrus blew through

Impinging a feather touch upon ear canal

Leaning in, ear cocked to the night breeze

Enveloping a whisper of the floating dandelion

Nightfall past, dawn approaches

Cheetah licks dew from a moistened paw

Empty desert slowly awakens

Acrostic
