I Picked up My Ears

     Airplanes scream overhead
     Lawn mowers abuzz on the ground
     Traffic streams endlessly by
       drowning out nature's intentions
       all of her creatures’ sounds...

     One lonely night in the country 
     I picked up my weary ears
       things soddenly sounded just right
       
     Whistling and chirping
     Mating calls of birds
     A pond come alive
       something forgotten in me
       had stirred
