Music To My Ears

MUSIC TO MY EARS

a tear drop instrumental

                    nature’s collage

gluing breeze blown leaves

to each other

      to trees

           to my toyota

o the sweet tinkling

against garbage cans

     against gutters

          hosing down the pavement


like a mama spitting upon her apron

          and wiping down her children’s brows
     removing debris and dirt
removing streaks from their glassy eyes

mama takes that same wet apron

          stomps out the aching forest fires
     sweeps the ash
sends her children

scurrying

back to bed

replacing nightmares
     with happy drip drop dreams

nature’s drum of love

     i smile at                                         God’s grace
