Symphony of Life by Glynis Smy
Crystal sound, echo notes of beauty,
Listen...soft, gentle singing of the rain,
A chorus flows to quench the thirst,
Give life to Mother Earth.
A crescendo of cymbals!
Crash! Electric stars
light the stormy sky.
Then-turn the page...
And Jazz surrounds me,
Skipping to the song of the sun,
Joyful rays dance with glee,
To the music of creation.
The lullaby touch of sleep,
Tenderly wraps the land,
In soothing waves it strokes,
The blanket of night...peace,
No sound, the conductor rests.
Then-turn the page...
Busy piano keys...
Cheerful, chatter starts the day,
The baton waves in dawn,
The Symphony of new day.
The Runner Up is Carmen Henesy of Carmen's Chronicles for her poem Music in Nature. Carmen will receive two Sony Holland CD's - like she needs more Sony cd's :) You can never have enough though right? Thank you Carmen.
Music In Nature
Nature abounds
In all sorts of sounds,
That seem musical to my ears –
Gentle soft murmurs,
Violent crashing crescendos,
With electricity so hot that it sears.
The ripple of wheat,
in a soft summer breeze,
Or the ping of hail,
As rain starts to freeze.
The roar of a waterfall,
The droning of bees,
The cawing of crows,
Fluttering leaves in the trees.
The booming of thunder,
Waves caressing the shore,
They all create a symphony,
Need I say even more?
Carmen Henesy
