When the talking stops

When the talking stops
and the rustling of coats are stilled
and the feet silenced,
you can hear the call of
the bubbling brook
and discover the magic of
the tiny waterfall
that is secret,
hidden to those who stay on the path.
Just across the grassy stretch
is a secret, hidden pool
of clear, transparent water
undiscoverable to those who stay on the path.

When the talking stops
and the rustling of coats are stilled
and the feet silenced,
magic happens
as the group disperse
to each find their own miracle.
