Mother Nature's Whispers

As I stand here listening To the whispers of the breeze As it rustles through The lush green leaves of the trees If you listen very closely You can hear Mother Nature speak In the harmonies of the water flowing Along a small mountain creek Sometimes you can hear it In the melody of a bluebirds song Or feel it within the suns rays Shining it’s warmth all summer long You can hear it in the call of a loon Or the cry of a whippoorwill These whispers can be heard When you are reverent, quiet and still Mother Nature whispers to us In so many different ways Through the chirping crickets at night The buzzing bees during the days She has so much to tell us Just stand quietly and you may hear All the things Mother Nature has to say All whispered within your ear. 7/15/2021 24 lines, 147 words
