Noise

Our modern day chorus Seems sung out of tune The cacophony of life Instead of the cry of the loon.... We have so engineered noise As this world keeps going around It's easy to loose connection With the gift of earth's quiet sound.... The call of the prairie grass The sigh of the ocean's repeat Songs of the passing brook And the sound of our own heart beat.....

I so agree, ....everywhere we go, there is artificial music piped into our lives...into our ears, ... especially in the lives of the younger generations. Will they ever just want to enjoy the sweet sounds of nature?? Thoughtful poem, Barbara. ~ Love, Carrie
