My Dear Writing Friend Desert Dreamer,
Your poem was sucked into my soul like water is into parched ground. After reading your poem the first thought I had was of nine-eleven. For all the shocking and unspeakable horrible things that befell the world that day, there was for me a ray of light that few were able to hear and see. Living remote but always under the flight paths of the jumbo jet, when all were grounded for the first time ever I basked in just the sounds of nature.
I prayed when I ask the Great Mystery, “Oh Great Father was this what it was like before the invasion of society noise on your creation? Was this what my Grandfathers relished with their ears? When animal herds beyond number roamed and flocks of your winged creations, so thick the sky would be darkened by them were thriving? Was this what it was like in Deep Time? Oh Great Father thank you for the silence of society and the song of your creation.”
If one will find the quiet spots, sit with eyes closed; they will hear the sounds of Deep Time. And if they keep silent they will begin to hear a melody. They will then begin to see with their soul a vivid world so breathtaking in beauty and wonderment that time will appear to stand still. Then the answers they seek will be spoken to them. They will see with their ears and when they finally open their eyes, their eyes will be able to listen. The question becomes are they brave enough to put away the noise pollution around them and meet the creation and its voice.
An excellent poem painted with vibrant words from your soul on the canvas of ours.

oh I love this - the sound of nature - the synesthetic appeal - colours always trigger sounds for me and vice versa - and with nature - it's just everywhere - you wrote this effortlessly and Selene will love it! bravo!
