Are you Listening?

February 22, 2008
By Anonymous

The birds that sing
the bees that sting
the sounds they make
the earth that quakes
are you listening?

the leaves that dance
the trees and their stance
the clouds that sail
the wind that wails
are you watching?

white bunnies in the sky
the determined leaf that believes it can fly
the flowers that gossip and wish they can sing
are you believing?
