Verbally Alive To hear the thrumming of the whispering wind The chatting of one bird to another Or the rolling leaf upon the wind There the dancing water walking down stream The cauldron of the sea churning itself While steam creeps over the edge of the horizon The darkness soon blanketing the sky With lights slowly scaring the shadows away Lit candles dance as they play upon the wick Yet only the cascading cream dizzy while spiraling Never has the chatter of crickets been so cheery Like a symphony of nature filling a stage Everything comes together in harmony Letting all shade, shadows, and darkened audience quietly enjoy Yet another night upon time's edgy, spinning brow As a top clears another revolution Life sings on like an endless solution.
