The Croon of Nature

You have to listen so hard to hear
"the silent song of the sighing breeze."
Go sit outdoors and then persevere.
Keep listening. Focus on the trees!

The song is very soft, like the rustling
of leaves from trees' many limbs hanging.
You need to be far from the bustling
of humankind’s banging and clanging.

Sit in nature and be in its hush.
If it’s night, crickets may be heard.
Magic happens when a soft wind’s rush
disturbs trees’ leaves. You might hear a bird!

When one or more birds join in, how sweet
are the sounds of creatures’ gentle tune.
Hear the symphony with joy replete.
Sighing breeze and Mother Nature croon!

This is beautiful Andrea. The song of nature is fascinating. To hear this soft music, we have to be away from the din and bustle of life. All the Best in the contest.

Nature's sounds and beauty beguiles us. One only needs to go to the woods, open ears to listen. Very fine verses. God bless.

You always hear that song you speak of, Andrea--when amid nature, mindfully.

Nature alone provides the best sounds, but the sound of silence is the best. Yet here am I, alone, no wife only the fan churns. It's already too hot. A beautiful poem. Hugs.
