Missing: Surround Sound



In the city I often miss 


the music of the nature’s quiet

wind's soughing 

rustle of leaves, 

sparrows busily chirping, 

water flowing, 

bullrushes shushing 

in wind and wave

black birds’ throaty notes

waves crashing and frothing

shiny wet pebbles 

rolling and settling 

meadow larks trilling their songs

long grasses whispering and nodding

rain dripping from grey clouds

geese honking to circle and fly

crickets and frogs calling to their mates

thunder rumbling from black clouds


In February, I often miss warmer climes.


“Nature’s music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.

~ Mary Webb
