playing
together in
the wind’s orchestra
The Chime And Bell
The Song Of Silence
deep in the woods
on the frozen vernal pond
the music played on
Rhythm Of The Seasons
a syncopation
of changing colors
fall’s visual music
Making Music
all the peepers
dance
to the fiddlehead’s tune
Redhead In The Rhythm Section
a fixed concentration
on the syncopation
of sustenance seeking
Chipmunk Dance
tiny feet
keep the beat
to the music of life
Motion
the leaves and the grasses
even the very air
dancing to winter’s tune
Music’s Bloom
rhythm of orange
syncopated
by hue
Joyous Cacophony
bleeding hearts
tambourine the wind
allium and iris
sing solo notes
Field Music
quartet
of snow
early winter sung
Afternoon Music
song in the air
chorus of clouds
cumulus crescendo
Outside Orchestra
the wind
conducts
movement’s music
Frog Song
rain on
peepers pond
the chorus crescendos
Hearing Hallelujah
crowded so tight
they seem almost one
every dot a note in the visual song
Rainy Day Music
rain plays
on tin roofs
symphony for birds
Madrigal
the colors
sang an aria
cantata of the garden
Syringa
lavender notes
lilac’s music carries us
to fairyland
Sunset Music
the sky sings
glory hallelujah
water sings the refrain
The Music Played
concert at the vernal pond
the flutist serenades
obligate and facultative inhabitants
Music Leads The Way
by the frozen vernal pond
in winter’s dark white
the flutist plays
Duet
an alto and soprano
in lavender and purple
sing of summer
Enchantment
a poetry of branches
and music in the light
a pause before the blooming
sweet magnolia May
Jacob’s Brook
water runs to the long river
singing the final refrains of its song
before it is silenced by winter
The Magic Flute
in harmony
with wind and birdsong
a concert for the trees
The Sound of Beauty
Floating flower bells
silence is their song.
Silent Music
In the quiet white of flakes descending
my heart beats in perfect rhythm
with the universe.
Parting Gift
The last gift the cornfield gives
is its whispering song
on the winds of fall.
Surface of Sound
Two Note Symphony
I admire the bird
who sings a two note song
as if it were a symphony.
