Natures Song

Have you ever stopped quietly just to listen?
Nature has an orchestra just waiting to be played.

A branch of a tree rub's against
a tree limb like the sound of the oboe
singing deep from within. 

There are birds, Frogs, and crickets to
add to the song.
And babbling brooks just flowing along.

The leaves under foot make a crunch
as you walk.  It's almost like
Nature is trying to talk.

The Night-in-gale sings her sad song
in the nest, then tucks all her babies
snug under her chest.

And just when you think all is quiet
and still, you hear a faint sound
coming over the hill.

You listen and wonder, what
sound could this be?
Its just the wind blowing and ruffling
the trees.

So next time your walking and
talking out loud.  Be quiet
stop moving and exit the crowd.

Just sit down be patient and quietly
stay, Its Natures sweet music Beginning
to play.

a glorious orchestra of nature sounds, Sharon. I am Andrea, who wrote the robin poem. I think you thought i was Deb becuase I had used her name at the bottom of my poem to show i had entered it in her contest. Anyway, I am not sure I met you before. I hope to see many more of your poems. LUv, andrea

Sounds like a bit of spring to me. I really like the last stanza--so much truth to these words. My daughter used to play oboe--one of my favorite instruments. Thank you for sharing this poem with us and for your kind words on mine. Karen
