Listen with an open soul,
  to the whispers of the moon.
Listen to the sacred secrets,
  sung by crying loon.

Listen to the messages,
  carried by summer breeze.
Listen to the stories told,
  to you by swaying trees.

Listen to the primal beat,
  within our Mother Earth.
Listen to the joyous sounds
  of those who laugh in mirth.

Listen to the babbling,
  of pristine mountain stream.
Listen to sweet murmurs,
  of a baby while in dream.

Listen to the soughing sighs,
  of willows while they weep.
Listen to the soothing stillness,
  in a grotto deep.

Listen to the beat of heart,
  of a loved one held so dear.
Listen to the bay of wolves,
  on moonlit night so clear.

Listen to the silence,
  in the still eye of a storm.
Listen to sweet meadowlarks,
  as they rise at morn.

Listen to the laughter,
  of children while at play.
Listen to the soulful sounds,
  of taps at end of day.

Of all the senses we possess
My need's for listening, I confess.
From Chopin to a lonely loon,
To couples whispering while they spoon,
You've caught the sense that I hold dear.
But eyesight helps to read you here.

Beautifully done.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Tara ~

The sounds in nature soothe my soul. In my home, I often have nature CD's playing. I find it so comforting. But of course, I prefer to hear them in person when I'm out walking in nature!

Warm hugs,
