I stop

And Listen.
To the nature around,




To the silence.
To the birds chirping



And singing.
Squirrels searching




And eating.
The wind


And rustling bushes.
To the animals running

And the dead leaves falling.
Listen to what God put on this earth

And to what God Gave us.
Not what humans put here.

Listen to what is real



And to the beautiful noise you can’t stop.

Listen to what was



And not what is.

The author's comments:
I was walking one day on a trail in a forested area one day, and noticed all of the sounds. I love the nature so much and in cities you don't hear nature. You hear cars and traffic, people and factories.
So this was about how things were before all of the manmade stuff was on earth.
