Evening Song

Conducted by the Hands that gave them voice Sweet songs of evening soothe my weary soul. Oh, how I love to hear the birds rejoice As frogs and insects hum adagio. Each night I sit and watch the sun go down Accompanied by song that has no score Each night His orchestra holds me spellbound That's why each night, I come right back for more. Yet I am just a simple country boy These nature songs were my first lullabies E'en to this day they bring my heart such joy And on occasion tear these simple eyes When moon appears to watch the sun depart My only thought, "My God, how great Thou art." Daniel Turner

I know you aren't really writing and this is one with many comments now. I am curious if you ever used it for some contest since it's so good, but I see no congrats on it. Hope you will write again!

What a brilliant poem Daniel. I can honestly say that I haven't read any poem that describes this scene any better. I am registered blind (S.S.I. Severely Sight Impaired) so I don't, unfortunately, read much of other people's poetry because of eye-strain issues (I use very high magnification to read things). But I am delighted I took the time to stop by and read this one. ~ Clive :)

This is melodic and embarrassing of nature. Loved the rhythm and especially the last line.

Hello Tommy. Life is pretty "heavy" these days and I left because the soup had soured. I will write again one day but at the moment I am very busy with family. Thanks for the review. Good to see you back in the soup and your enthusiasm will surely improve the taste:) Be well!

Ooooo! A fave for me. Being a country girl who was taken to th city by my husband and buried in concrete I long for the country. My memories of sitting on the porch listening to the evening songs of nature are all I have now but my large back yard garden is a balm. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB
