    We know what the sound of the surrounding is. We know there's a pond and the surface makes no sound when the leaf falls. We know it captures the leaf, and it withers above the ripple as it runs down the stream. This was packed with just enough. Amazing work Raymond 🤗 ❤️

  • I don't know why but soundless capture made me think of a screenshot. Loved your beautiful Haiku!

  • Love the image of the falling leaf gracing the water with a ripple!
