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
Author's note: May we always keep our ears open
I am not sure I achieved my goal but, this is
what spoke to me today. Thanks for visiting
