Make a Sound

The birds on their swooping drawl 
Speak to me incessantly...something
I should probably know, and will soon
When I can clearly listen

Mr squirrel sits on top of the broken
Bird bath, waiting for something to be done

An oasis of new seeds and planting neon
Amid all the lush green ivy
My feet grip the ground tightly
Not willing to lose the sensation, for a time

Then back to my mind...
What to do with this stubborn future
I believe now it will take care of itself
Like the birds and bees
Attraction leads us godly

There is definately some rhythm between doing nothing and doing something. Honestly if more people did nothing, the world would be more relaxed a million times!
