Ode To Song Without Words
The animal kingdom does
Just fine without words
Sounds by themselves
All that needs to be heard
The breeze in the trees
Is music to me
The sound of laughter
Is happy harmony
The rumble of thunder
Is nature singing bass
The crackle of lightning
The cymbal’s apace
The cheery tinkle of water
An aquatic chorus
Wending and lending
Wind chimes to the forest
Nature knows little of lyrics
Could not care less of rhyme
And that’s the name of it’s game
Since the beginning of time
Song Without lyrics to some
Is akin to life without love or words
To some of us (humans) perhaps
…but not to Nature nor birds!... 112 words
