Listen Can you hear it? The sweet, sonorous music of creation Resonating from time until time Nature in all of her splendor Announcing, as it were Her presence to any and all With ears to hear
It begins softly With the music of the night
The rhythmic pulses of the cricket Singing in metronomic persistence Answered by another Then another A chorus of hallelujahs
And the other creatures of the dark A wolf howls in the distance Baying woefully at the moon Calling her pride to seek the bounty of the night
The wind carries other music Thunder adds a pulsing bass and rhythm to the symphony Owls stand as all-seeing sentries Posing their never ending question The Bobwhite and Whippoorwill Calling their names proudly in the dark
The leaves of the stately Elm and the mighty Oak Join a chorus of playful counterpoint Against the eerie song Of the giant Pine
The world around is awash in music Resplendent in its majesty Glorious in its simplicity Magnificent in its beauty
For the Heavens declare the Glory of God; The expanse of the universe shows His handiwork The song of the day, His speech The music of the night, His truth The resonance of creation, His Beauty |
