Have You Ever Heard

Have you ever heard The whistle of air Around quiet hills As the breezes dare Move over the fields Turned a luscious green By the folly play Of the sun and rain Battling for the gain Of a longer stay? Have you ever heard The groaning of earth Like a sole cello Feeling the sorrow Of its loneliness Suddenly regressed By the sound of feet In the evergreens That begin its wake To life to partake? Have you ever heard The sound of water Like light play of keys As it finally Breaks through the surface Downhill it races A river is born That feeds fields of corn Dancing in the sun While birds sing their fun? Have you ever heard The music of fire As it bursts laughing Crackling sparks inside A warm fireplace where A family shares Hot, grilled marshmallows As they play Uno. The circle of love, Miracle of life. By CarolineCecile. Copyright Feb. 2011.
