These are voices from the heart,
the sounds of life given and nurtured;
the vibrations which support my being
in space and time, the music
which accompanies my body
causing the seed to grow,
strong, wise and loving in all of life
until the day I return again to her womb
to be reborn and to repeat
the endless cycle of life engendered
within my mother: the earth
and thus I honour her in her labours
by listening and loving:

I hear the call of a great horned owl
on the high branch of an old spruce;
the soft patter of snow-shoe hares
circling a hay stack in harsh moonlight;
the crackling of the northern lights
flashing fiery waves of coloured lights;
the song of frogs on the edge of a pond
on a clear spring night reflecting stars.
The gentle ripple of wavelets
bouncing against a half-submerged log;
the laughter of coyotes in distant fields
mocking the bark of the farmer’s dog.

Yes, these are the voices
that forever echo in my mind
that forever remind
of my passage on planet Earth.

oh, WW, now you've made me homesick
for the northern lights,
which I call
my rainbow dancing lights

(perhaps it is time to re-visit
my Alaska poetry)

Excellent 'write'…as always!

I am especially fond of:

“These are voices from the heart,
the sounds of life given and nurtured;
the vibrations which support my being
in space and time, the music
which accompanies my body
causing the seed to grow,
strong, wise and loving in all of life…”;

as well as:

“the call of a great horned owl
on the high branch of an old spruce;
the soft patter of snow-shoe hares
circling a hay stack in harsh moonlight
the crackling of the northern lights
flashing fiery waves of colour…”;

AND:

“the laughter of coyotes in distant fields
mocking the bark of the farmer’s dog.”;

Very serious, long-sustained applause!!
