Calming Sounds

Ocean waves gently brushing the sand
Wind whistling through an old window
Sparrows in bushes chattering away
Leaves rustling in the breeze
Soft pattering of evening rain
Babbling brooks
A water fall


There's nothing like listening to the calming sounds of nature to soothe a stressed soul

Those are indeed soothing words. To me, "soft pattering of evening rain" is my favorite sound, maybe because we don't hear it often enough. Just lovely, Anne.

this took me back to the years of living on the beach, thank you....i needed that....the calming world of living in the quiet, far away from the din of a hurrying world....i am planning to go off the grid with Abby and settle into that mental state...again, thank you for this poem

Hi Timothy, Glad you enjoyed my calming sounds poem :-) Yes I couldn't agree more. Too many people are so stressed out these days. Sounds like you've got the right idea re: living off the grid. Away from the hustle and bustle.
