Just Listen

as I sit on my porch~
   
the heaviness of my thoughts...

    so melodious is the sound.....

of the day light sounds that abound...

    crickets are singing, sounds... 

   are ringing. birds are chirping...

 the brook is gurgling....

frogs are cying for rain..  it beats the sound...

  of inane thoughts foraging through my brain...

      so melodious of daylight sounds...

where peacefulness invades the brain...

Sounds and smells do that for me. This is wonderful. Youi have a way of expressing yourself that lets the reader see and actually breathe between each word. That's a great effect! Terrific write. Michael
