Put Your Ear To the Ground

Complexity comes in the simplest of forms- Sounds all around us continually speak When the spring equinox is nigh- Children at play, screaming glee to the wind Sliding down slides, landing with a thud. The cry of seagulls enjoying a free dinner Whilst beach goers forget their leftovers- The lapping of the waves, purity abound Draws every human like a magnet, as if Still secure within the Mother’s womb. Sit in a meadow of grass, listen close There is a microcosm of sounds to adore A snake slithering into his hole in the ground, A cricket jumping, an ant colony busily working The scratching of a mole, digging blindly, crunching on insects- appetites galore! Sweet Spring! a time when the newborn are learning and the fertile earth renewed- Listen closely and you can hear their progressive journey To earn their wings and leave the nest. A colt’s awkward run, the fledgling bird flapping for all it is worth. Frogs chirruping in the night, a fox stealthily seeking it’s prey. The owl warning of advancing predators, just so he can greedily take the deceived rabbit as his own. Listen close as new life begins all around Invigorating spring abounds in sound!
