THE MUSIC OF NATURE

One day a man saw birds sitting on electrical wires and noticed this detail
The birds and the wires together resembled the musical scale.

So he attached notes to all these feathered friends and without writing any words
When he played them he had a musical score composed solely by the birds.

The music was quite beautiful, it would take your breath away.
Which led me to wonder what other melodies does Nature routinely play.

I’ve heard the soothing tempo of the ocean’s mighty roar
The waves keeping a rhythmic beat as they crash against the shore.

I’ve heard the crickets awaken at twilight, I’ve heard the frogs that croak at noon
I’ve heard the howl of the coyotes as they bellow at the moon.

I’ve heard the mighty eagle sing, I’ve heard the gentle breeze
I’ve heard the drum of thunder, and raindrops falling through the trees.

I’ve heard the buzzing of the bees, I’ve heard the wind whistle, whine and scream
I’ve heard the hollow bamboo echo, I’ve heard harmony in a stream.

All we need to do is listen and we would be aware
Of the melody of nature...of music in the air.

Nature is the conductor waving her baton so effortlessly...
Blending the sounds together creating a daily symphony.
