SOUND SURROUNDS
It is always about what one sees
Yet rarely about what one hears
Nature’s voices are always there
Just listen to them and be aware
The rain sounds like falling tears
And leaves rustling in the breeze
To some, maybe music of a kind
A symphony, changing by season
Birds waking with a dawn chorus
As if a performance given for us
And yet always, there is a reason
A hidden message one might find
Echoes of thunder can be twinned
With a snort of horses in the fields
Chirping birds and buzzing of bees
As nature gets louder by degrees
No surprise at the power it wields
Now hear the melody in the wind
One may have not heard it before
As some sounds need a trained ear
None need any granted permission
Just listen to the natural condition
Like a fast river rushing over a weir
And waves washing over the shore
