Listen

Stop!
 Just stop and listen to the world around you
so full of beauty,
the way the wind blows in the trees

hear the rushing water of the falls above
the harmony that the birds sing,
it reminds me of a dove floating on air

The beauty of nature is all around you
just stop and listen to it.
How many sounds can fly right through
our lives in the bustling city.

The sound of leaves,
the sound of silence.
But it's not so silent is it?

To some the natural world is strange.
To some it feels like home.
for me?
That is an easy thing to tell,
for me, nature is hope.

So stop and think while you're in your car
of the sounds that you heard in the forest's wing
the wonderful melody that the ancient ones sing.
