Nature Is Talking

Hush, little one!

Be still.

Nature is talking.

Can you hear?

On the wind,

Rustling tree leaves are saying,

“Good morning!  How are you?

Did you sleep well, last night?”

Birds take flight

To shake off the night –

Chirping back and forth,

Looking for breakfast below.

Crickets finish their concert,

Yawn and stretch,

Then head off to bed –

For the day is not their realm.

Flowers face the rising sun.

They giggle softly

When the breeze comes –

It tickles when it bobs their heads.

Hush, little one!

Be still.

Nature is talking.

Can you hear?
