Crickets and frogs

sorenbarrett

The sounds of night give me gossamer wings of glistening threads flight into silver dreams
Perfume of jasmim carried on the breeze meets whispers of leaves in a chorus of trees 
A festival of light carried by fireflies illuminate the meadow with frog and cricket cries
A warm blanket of stillness in the air, a soft creaking on the porch of the rocking chair

        Thanks so much Michael. Such kind words from a poet of your quality means a great deal

      • Paul Bell

        The rocking chair sets the theme, maybe once there, but not now.
        Nature gives us the entertainment that people don't realise is free for the listening.
        Now for the dreaming.

            I really like amphibians but I have a deep-seated fear of crickets !

            • sorenbarrett

              Thank you Lorenz for the read as for that fear of crickets did it start after watching Pinocchio?

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      My friend, the whole piece settles in like warm dusk…the jasmine, the fireflies, the quiet creak of the chair. Every element moves together in a soft orchestration. It feels lived…felt…remembered. Love it, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                                Living in a Town ; I sometimes hear an Owl which is such a Peaceful Sound to hear.
                                But to hear the 'Callings' you describe: I'm a bit envious. You paint a fine Picture. Love it.

                                • sorenbarrett

                                  Thank you so much for the read and words of support and encouragement. I have always loved the country and its sounds and worked a lifetime to spend the last few years there.
