sometimes I listen
to
the breeze
the swoosh of the clouds
the rustle of the trees
the splash of the ocean
the quake of the earth
but I realize
they are not
talking to me
they will be there
even if I'm not
it is not enough to listen
because because because because because because because
as the
breezes caress me
clouds enthrall me
leaves excite me
oceans bathe me
earths soil me
they become part of me
it is not enough to listen
I must move my soul into their world
I cannot stand outside and only observe
in order to know them
I must be them
if not...some day
they will just go away
every day is an earth day...lets all do our share...

ReplyDeleteWow, I loved this! Yes, not just to listen and observe, but to become a part of - to realize that we are a part of all creation, it is not there for us, but with us! Wonderful way with words here, GS!
