POETRY/ MOMENTS OF ETERNITY/FREE VERSE
Through Giggling Stars and Laughing Moon I Find My Way
DEP Prompt Response 26/52 Sounds of Nature
“No other sound can match the healing power of the sounds of nature.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover
Echos of emotions run through my eyes
Tune-o-soul bind to the whispers of silence
They whistle to the drunkenness of wafting breeze
Ears trained to melodies of cosmic alliance
My skin bears the chimes of cold fire
My breath, manifestation of memories’ drum
My heart beats to the rhythm of that fickle river
My lips spell words harmonized in forests’ thrum
Distance prattle to my soul and shadow
Lilting melody of life my moony mind croons
Buzzing with the bees, fluttering with butterflies
I walk over the clouds, when rain-threads they spool
Tip-Tap-Tip flows solace on earth
Shifting sky shouldering untold pain
Soil listens to the sound of petrichor
Conversations of soul in nature etched
Humming earth a spectacle of night
Cricket strums to full gallery — it slays
Giggling stars, laughing moon the audience
to the secret joys of the dark’s staged play
Touching infinities beat, where horizons meet
The roaring waves throw grumbles on sand
Susurrating leaves call birds to its trees
I open my wounds to a snap of a hand
Beyond the decibel, below the boom
Gurgling vacuum, in soundscape’s lulling sway
Spoken quiet, muted noise thriving to reach
Gliding through nature’s sounds — I find my way !
Author’s Notes: And in the naked light, I saw ten thousand people, maybe more, people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never shared and no one dared disturb the Sound of Silence — Lyrics by Simon & Garfunkel,Sound of Silence,Being an introvert, I always found it challenging to express myself the way I felt. Always looking for silence, solitude and un-intrusive ways to move around.
And that is where I leaned on nature and her ways to feel, to interpret and communicate. My conversations with nature sounds have nurtured poetry in me the way I write today.
