a different kind of music

the whisperings of the trees,
the crackling, swishing, wispy, music of the trees

the silence of the snow
the dripping, plopping, invisible music of the snow

the chattering of the ice
tapping, scratching, rustling, crunching music of the ice

it crescendos now with the conducting of the wind,
and if falls again, barely audible pianissimo 
until the Composer of the song wills it to end
and the sun will shine again




and sometimes the music is dangerous
and sometimes it is enough to break your heart

  1. Oh Sara!! This is great!! I read the part before the picture and thought "This is really good" and then I read the last two lines and thought "Wow. This is REALLY good".

  2. the last two lines are my favorite. i love them i love them i love them. they could stand as a poem all by themselves, and that is the best kind of ending.
