HEARABLE.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

HEARABLE.

 


I sat one morning in leafy-green oceans
of growing corn
and felt the unknowable alter my senses.

A song of immeasurable beauty caught
my inner core
as stalks shouldered sighs up from depth.

 

Gowns of fragile filigree curled lightly
round tasseled cobs
while hums through silver fringes crept.

Bodies of spider-blown veins muscled
ballooning over
bulges of growth to croon around webs.

 

With audible ticks the chorus of nature
birthing corn's gold
in speechless glory became so intense.

I stayed convinced that morn after proof
that life's silent race
is hearable to humans on wonder bent.

        A lovely write Fay. I should like to have the time - and the weather - to sit in fields of corn. Don't be daft, Orchi. It's not full grown this time of year! I shall come back to the field in about 6 months time.

        • Fay Slimm.

          Thank you dear Orchi

              I am so happy you broke down the message in the poem stanza by stanza dear Brian - - nature has such blessings for humans who bend an ear to her songs.

                  • dusk arising

                    You took me back to something half a lifetime ago.
                    i wonder if it is still in me to be there again.

                    • Fay Slimm.

                      So pleased that the read raised up memories for you dear friend -- I feel once we have been there no matter how long ago opens doors that stay ever ajar.
