what difference chirping of chicks in their nest;
a new child's cries for bottle or breast?
there's no contrast seen anyone might contest.
soprano's pitched aria to wiporwill's call;
orchestra's pounding against woodpecker's awl?
each a mixture that could any mind enthrall.
city's jungles that screech, dump-trucks, buses, loud cars;
nature's jungles, wild monkeys, ape screams, lion's roars?
change in venue aside, jungles ride to tied scores.
oceans' waves against beaches or mashed against rock;
rush hour traffic of subways, speed lines chasing clock?
if it's contest you're seeking these sounds interlock.
Earth is all tied together by fire, wind and rain
Nature ever expressing men's challenges; pain
Each depending on other's unique voice to remain.
Adding your comment:
but when you read something like this, it's an interesting reminder that maybe I'm not taking enough notice of life at times
