I listen to abundant voices

 

I listen to abundant voices

saunter on frost-tipped grass

slightly sinking into the soggy ground

footsteps rustle through crisp fallen leaves

sights and sounds of ever-changing seasons

consider the blue topaz sky

captivated by waves of clouds

endlessly moving.

Somewhere behind me

red-tailed hawk signals

wintry weather is on the horizon.

A wordless melody wells up

as I begin to sing along.

This is a free-form poem.  I wrote this poem over the past two days. I was inspired by the  day as I stood looking up at the sky. I was  aware of  the sights and sounds in the landscape and sky.

This book is a thoughtful and joyous journey through a calendar year.

Readers have told me they keep this book on the nightstand and read a little from it every day.  Others have told me they were sad when they came to the end of the book because they never wanted it to end. I am so grateful for all of the readers who give me feedback and comments.
