Remind Me of You

Remind me of you The rush of the wind as its tickling branches A bluebird in song as the spring does arrive Crickets abound with their vocal performance It’s the music of nature that keeps us alive Leaves on the path as they crackle and flitter Soft falling snow as it forms on the ground Squirrels that chatter from tree top to tree top Surrounded we are with a wonderful sound Long distant thunder that rumbles profoundly As if to say hey there, look up at me Rain on a tin roof that taps us in wonder These are the tones we can listen for free The buzz of a bee as it searches for nectar Acorns that tumble a thud to the earth The peep of a new baby sparrow that’s hungry Harmonies whisper the glory of birth Echoing geese as they soar through the heavens Trumpeting swans now a’ float on the lake Children at play as they learn new adventures A rooster that crows for its time to awake A fog horn now calling the lost on the ocean The crash of a wave as it reaches the shore Seagulls that scream us their maritime sonnets Sandpipers squeal as they come back for more Melodies heard filling each walk of nature Symphonies built on what’s real and so true Songs sung of life that inspire the feelings Beautiful things that remind me of you

Morning Chris. I'm so behind in your work I can see. This entry is lovely. You write of nature wonderfully and so eloquently. And yes, you manage to entwine and incorporate love within it. May you always have appreciation for your surroundings. Have a great morning and day. I hope all is well. Well done in its entirety including the title.

Hi Chris, I love how you composed this well written write. The imagery was on point. I could just picture all of animals you mention. I agree the wonder of nature is lovely and beautiful. The last two lines were a sweet declaration of love. Excellent job. :-) Alexis

An absolute joy to read Chris - I agree with Darren it reminds me of a song - my favourite things from Mary Poppins:-) You should re classify it as a lyric!:-) hugs jan xx
