Shhhh....

Silence

A fan, Electric wind
I dream of October

The dishwasher,
Rhythmic, soothing
Close the door, open a book

Bicycle tires
Their hummm accented with
sharp squeals and laughter

Kayaks slice silent waters
Within the quiet lies, teaming life and
butterfly kisses.

My child, sleeping
The nightmare dispersed.
Leaving sweet breaths of trust and love

Wow, PtCakes--I'm really digging your poetry! I especially love this stanza:

"Kayaks slice silent waters
Within the quiet lies, teaming life and butterfly kisses."

Great mouth sounds and images, all of which are hushed and soothing.

Nice work!
