Keen Ear

You need a keen ear to hear

the songs of the trees, a gust

of wind rattling limbs, the

sound of leaves and needles

buds growing in early spring

the angst of a tree tumbling

to the ground, the sobs

 of a willow weeping

 

You need a keen ear to hear

the songs of the sky,  the

beauty of a sunrise/sunset

the gentle or pounding

rhythm of rain, the roar

of thunder on a hot summer

night, evanescent clouds,

solar flares, soft snow fluttering

to earth on quiet wings

 

You need a keen ear to hear

the songs of the waters,

a babbling brook, the burble

of water as it moves, a waterfall

bubbling over rocks and branches

 ocean waves crashing on the shore

or the gentle roll,  a lullaby to the ears

 

You need a keen ear to hear

the joyful sounds of the natural world

filled with amazing creatures

and the sorrowful moans of death

but, once you do you will never

forget it's melody 

linking with earthweal
