If you couldn’t hear the birds sing
Would you notice?
Would you hear the quiet first?
Or would you feel it?
If you couldn’t see the moonshine,
Could you taste it?
Would you listen to the cricket song
Like you could sense it?
If you couldn’t feel the wind blow
Could you smell it?
Would wafting scents of lilacs tease your nose?
Or would you care?
If dewdrops licked your ears,
Would you acknowledge?
How loud must Nature scream
Before you see it?
I feel like I can sense all of the things you reference! Wish I was sitting in a hammock, enjoying taking it all in, right now.
I love the way you use nature and sensory language here.
