The Forest's Song

A song with no lyrics fills the seemingly quiet forest.
It takes a real expert, though, to notice.

The birds sing from their platform in the trees.
The lighting effects flash across the sky spontaneously.
Everyone leans in to hear
The sound the rain makes as it falls to the earth.

The thunder follows the lightning to provide the drum
There are running footsteps as the animals try to get home.
But I am already there, because this song is my home.
And this song is the song playing in my heart.
Because it is more beautiful than the greatest masterpiece of art.

So the next time you hear the forest's song don't run.
Because then you won't get to dance to it and have fun.

    enchanting piece that points out that we often overlook the beauty in nature or fail to hear its call beckoning us to visit for a while. lovely images.

    I love this. I do find the rhyme to be off a bit but the story is enchanting. All of those sounds coming together are a song ...
    nature's way of serenading us

    Pretty

    I liked it a lot, especially the last two lines "
    So the next time you hear the forest's song don't run.
    Because then you won't get to dance to it and have fun."

    Now this is ...

    a very pleasant poem. It would be a nice poem to read on a very cold winter's evening, sitting by a warm fire and listening to the wind howl.

    Thanks for entering.

    often durring the late spring I will stand in the middle of the firest durring a rain or thunder storm and just listen to the music all arround me. It is a wonderful thing to listen to. So many people miss out on the experience just because they don't want to get wet, or are blind to the music that is nature. Thanks for enetring my contest.
