Wordless.
What a world of beautiful silence comes to us
in tiny earfuls if we stay aware.
Join a bird for, before singing, beaks practice
warble-vocabulary which delights,
or find awe from hearing the tweaks of grass,
or as the lake gleams with overnight
mist listen as warm steam massages its back.
Eavesdrop on the banter of ants
during frenetic action or hark to non-language
creaks of corn, take note of chatter
as dew hugs lawns, absorb ice talking in cracks,
or bend to the voiceless moans
of sad roses when loved petals die and are cast.
To hear trees shaking leaf-music from patter of
raindrops thrills after quick showers
and stooping to catch granite mutely enjoying
the feel of solidity empowers.
What wordless wonder nature uses
in speechless contact we can hear if we choose.

The music of the Earth's heart. So beautiful Fay.
Just mentioned Solveigs Song on another posting - ah the voice not singing words but just used as an instrument - beauty everywhere if only we listen. Steam massages its back - what a majestical phrase - super as ever Fay.
You effortlessly describe the music of the earth n this poem in only the way that you can. So beautifully captured! Wonderful!
Yes, the harmony and the peace in nature are the best music on earth.
Wonderful poem, nature’s symphony is glorious, even in its silence.
Thanks once again FAY for a pictorial poetic Gem ~ straight form you loving heart. The sounds of NATURE are more profound than mere words ~ they are evocative and evoke individual sensations and memories in our hearts and minds in a language we can all understand ! The voice of Nature is never silent and normally has great strength to soothe the troubled soul ~ AMEN ~ Yours as ever ~ BRIAN "Nature Boy"
"Speechless contact", doesn't that describe what poetry is? And the poetry of nature as well. as you so finely portray. A beautiful, mind-stimulating poem, Fay!
Lovely write Fay. It's a pity - I tried to join a cat in its singing / mewing. But it was terrified and dashed off quick! Well, it would, cos it heard me sing and thought there was cat-fight somewhere. heehee.
The music of the Earth. Awesome write
Fay, you describe the beauty of stillness so incredibly well. Stillness filled with unheard sounds of music. Your writing is exquisite!
Nature's symphony for our ear,
If we just open up to hear. I could hear the music. Great write.
