All morning long
I've listened
to the wind chime ting
as the trade winds blow
and the chickens sing.
The day keeps growing
as the clouds move along
and I listen
to my world
singing its song.
What are the sounds of your world? Is it something that lifts your spirit?
I recently had the thought that in Kauai I don't here crickets. I think the chickens eat them all. When I mentioned this to my husband, he noticed he hadn't heard cicadas in Hawaii either. And I thought about the train whistles I got to hear in Tucson that aren't on island.
What fun. Can you write a poem today about the sounds you are thankful for in your community?
The beauty of the earth around me sings.
I enjoyed your poem and talk of sounds you hear and those you don't. The world's song is different for each and every one of us. Amazing!
