Listen

“The earth has music for those who listen.”
—George Santayana

Listen between the silences
listen without words
pay attention to cicadas
hear the song of birds.

Feel the earth in motion
as it creeps around the sun,
tune-in to grass growing
begin to be as one…

with the rhythms of nature
on butterfly wings
mindfulness will move you
and teach eternal things.

And again you’ll feel your wildness
you’ll tread ever so lightly
magic will remember you
beneath these ancient Trees…**
