Somewhere over the rainbow

I recently took a trip tto Derbyshire where I slightly changed my views on Nature, this is unfinished really but say what you think.

Stand in the middle of a field,
still,
silent,
just listen.
Do you hear that?
You can hear it in the whispers of the wind
in the tiny beats of every bird's heart
in the trickle of that straining stream,
upon every single tiny pebble on its bed
dripping,
slowly.

Nature is still breathing,
Nature's heart still beats.

Lie still there for just a moment
and if you're lucky,
she will sing to you,
ever so soft,
delicate,
but beautiful.
Breathe too deeply
and you will snap the chords of her sounds
as so many have done before
sighing in peace at her precious melodies
her whispers
her whimpers.

As you gaze up at the heavens,
gaze long enough
and you just may see
one cloud
devoid of urine soaked stains
pure white.

Yet be overcome with melancholy.

Beautiful eyes are all the remain
and they rarely open,

catch them while you can.

The heart still beats,
in silence.

The voice still mourns
greater than the Sirens,
sadder than her tears that fall from the skies.

She is beautiful

but dying.

A sad ending to a well done poem...but it makes you think.

This is a beautiful poem. The ending was sad, but it is still beautiful.

Really enjoyed your poem, as indicated, a touch of melancholy at the end, but an enjoyable read.

You have truely captured natures quickly dieing beauty. In our ignorance we are killing her and bypassing her wonders. Perhaps your poem will enlighten some more people as it has enlightened me. Great Job!

This made me cry. I too feel the earth is alive and we are slowing killing it. What will it take to make people realize what a murderer we really are to this sacred world?
