One word caption challenge


Yesterday, I was going through some pictures that we'd clicked on our trip to Ile- D'Orleans, an idyllic location in Quebec city, Canada last summer (Yes, I'm into reliving the 'past' these days!). Somehow, I just couldn't get beyond this one... Can you try to describe this picture in one word? Please try... It'll be fun!

sipping a cup of hot coffee

some silence trickling down
a soar lane with no streetlights
warming, jostling alive, a breath escapes
steam whirs and i hear the sizzle
calm droning from inside the seashells
oysters squirming, a pearl descending
i remember the lady at Starbucks
the student with numbed shoulders
an icecreamy smile and i gulp more silence
don't wanna wake my family up
let them usher further into
blankets while i think about the muse
Zelda and her Save Me the Waltz
silence is good
sometimes
