The Song of the Woods
The song of the woods
We all can hear it
Whether with ear or with eye
Or with nose or with spirit
The birds sing the melody
Some powerful some vain
but the blue jay cries out, almost in pain
The trees and the wind
And the earth play together
No matter the day or the month
or the week or the weather
Each player and piece
Plays an integral role
In telling the story
And describing it whole
Our job is to listen
to each piece and each part
and try to understand
this great work of art
Cooper’s Hawk
Powerful predator perches
Penetrating eye scans and searches
Predator peers, pauses, and lurches
POW!
Poor prey has found what its worth is
Come With AppreciationĀ
Come with humility
Come with grace
Come with a ferocious smile on your face
Come without want
Of what to take away
Come with appreciation
You’ll find you will stay
Here in nature
Who sometimes confounds
Where silence is precious
And peace resounds
Where chaos is structured
And your center is found
Lovely. Where is the poetry from ?
