Ode To Song Without Words

How words are often not needed

The animal kingdom does 

Just fine without words

Sounds by themselves

All that needs to be heard

The breeze in the trees

Is music to me

The sound of laughter

Is happy harmony

The rumble of thunder

Is nature singing bass

The crackle of lightning

The cymbal’s apace

The cheery tinkle of water 

An aquatic chorus

Wending  and lending

Wind chimes to the forest

Nature knows little of lyrics

Could not care less of rhyme

And that’s the name of it’s game

Since the beginning of time

 

Song Without lyrics to some

Is akin to life without love or words

To some of us (humans) perhaps

... but not to Nature nor birds...
