“When
streams are ripe and swelled with rain”
A little silver stream thrives on
meandering the lush green valley,
I
hear its murmur- enjoy the susurration
of the constant music of the water
Tumbling,
rolling, dissolving in air
Breath
taking sights… beautiful melodies
Wet
my heart and mind....
I listen to 'presences and noises'
watch their whimsical playfulness
lurching on the sides....
We
are listeners, deaf in unexpected places
Serenity
whispers through
every swoop of a bird, every stir of a wind,
Oh!
Sounds live in the breath of silence
Listen,
listen to the noisy sounds….
They
are some of the BEST sounds ever –
Forever
searching for ears to listen

We need to take the time to listen to those 'presences and noises' in our surroundings. Those 'noisy' sounds can indeed be delightful when we take time to hear what is being 'said' in the silence.
ReplyDelete"Sounds live in the breaath of silence." Lovely line. The entire poem is full of peace and calmness. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNothing more peaceful than listening to the voices of the natural world. I loved this, Panchali.
