Night
We can’t hear the
song
The world sings
As it spins—
Only birds hear it—
Crickets, frogs
And whales in the
deep.
Mankind has fallen
asleep.
Dawn
Just before dawn
Song birds join
together in a chorus
While night birds
turn their heads
And dream of Eden
We have forgotten Eden
We are asleep.
High Noon
Bright green and
black damselflies fly over
Bright babbling
streams—
Spotted brook trout
fan their tails
in deep cold holes—
They know the song of
Planet Earth—
As it turns each day,
they
Knew it from the
moment of birth.
Dusk
On the salty reef
certain fish harmonize—
Fish elegant in
shapes colors patterns
In harmony with
seasonal cycles.
I would like to
return to the sea
To follow its ebb and
flow
And know the Earth’s
song
After the sun has
set.
