Nature's Song

A rhythmic refrain on the shore As waves caress it more and more A gentle breeze in fluted strain On the shore a rhythmic refrain As clouds pass by I hear a tune As wispy notes above are strewn A cadence floating in the sky I hear a tune as clouds go by There is a song among the stars Twinkles make up musical bars Moonbeam rhythms play along Among the stars there is a song On moonbeams a lullaby rides As it shimmers upon the tides When slumber takes you to your dreams A lullaby rides on moonbeams 1-21-2024 Swap Quatrain

Lovely lyrical meditation on the natural world's inherent music. Through its imagery, repetitive structure, and thematic coherence, the poem invites readers to listen closely to the world around them, finding music in the rhythm of waves, the patterns of clouds, and the silence of the stars.

Nothing more soothing than the sounds of nature Even when she's ferocious her sounds catch your ear. Tom

a lovely poem with outstanding rhyme scheme. I loved 'there is a song among the stars...' That verse was beautiful and sounded like a celestial lullaby. I also liked the last line...'lullaby rides on moonbeams.' Am faving...have a great day, Sara

This exceptional poem exhibits exquisite rhymes and explores a captivating subject centered around a rhythmic refrain that resonates with the shore. As the waves gently embrace the shoreline.

Oh my, this is a mystical write especially with those cosmic elements like stars and moonbeams, almost taking me to a dreamland.. Love the oceanic imagery too in the opening lines, they sing of a profound serenity.. "There is a song among the stars Twinkles make up musical bars", "On moonbeams a lullaby rides" Wow, this is a FAV from you, so gorgeously done!
