The Cricket

there is a sweet calm
throughout the countryside land
twilight is approaching
yet, I see the sounds
nature calling from the wild
crickets sing rhythmic sounds
chirp, chirping, chirping 
sounding out in shrill degrees
calming patterns brings me back
walking with nature
 prayers in my heart beating
chirping harmony abounds
there is precious calm
enhanced by sweet aromas
chirping precious existence

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
