MUSICAL NATURE

elecguitarcloseup

Beats of sounds speaks out
to be heard outside thought.
Taught mind holds out its arms
which melodies caress, disarms.

Balance placed all around is
quite fondly rolled out like this.
With august carpets welcomed
to change moods succumbed.

Beauty revealed in rhythm
that alone fills the chasm,
Teaches that nature is a song
sang in the world it belong.

Listening to living all about,
natural in whisper or shout.
Speaking like any language
for those alive, of every age.

This one common dialect
that nature would select,
to talk to all its wards
over whom it over-lords.

Into the rhymes of beats
even the soul also eats.
For the monastery of man
isn’t too lonely to jam.

Drummed beats within ribs
carry breath beyond its cribs.
Heard inside ears own confine
till sound buries its own coffin.

This atmospheric gaol of man
he has only, all he does plan.
In its whirl spin of mystery,
it entertains man’s misery.

Trunk sounds nosy trumpets
like fluty birds in high nests.
Peckers tap wooden gongs
as leggy harps chirp songs.

The hiss lull of breezy air
and crescendo a storm blare;
conducts brown, green and blue
into a harmony hardly new.

As sound speaks and entertain,
nature so musically maintain
the oneness of all it breeds;
sanely soothing all it feeds.

The metaphor portrays the act,
that cannot dispute the fact;
That the fruit of this only life
Metamorphose with all alive.
