Subtle Sounds

Listen to the subtle sounds that surround Mother Nature. Hear a bubbling brook chuckle, as it splashes over rocks. Hear the drone of hummingbirds or the songs of humpback whales. And the sonic squeaks and clicks, exchanged by chatty dolphins. Hear a cicada compete with the chirp of a cricket. And the wailing winds whistle within the weeping willows. Hear the laughter of water careening off canyon walls. And, to hear the voice of God, you merely need to listen.

A collection of beautiful words that flow without needing to rhyme! A 7! Thank you for sharing! I am learning to appreciate poetry of all different kinds. I have always felt that it takes more intelligence to construct a poem without rhyme than with. Thanks for being an inspiration!
