Have you heard the sound of the snap of a twig,
the rain falling through the trees,
standing still - still standing still,
and waiting.

Have you heard the sound of the river
... running headlong to the river edge,
where the river falls to rocks below in random
cascades of shattered spray.

Have you heard the sound of the wind
across tall grass plains,
as it bends and sways the grass to and fro.
The sound of swishing grass all around you,
in every direction.

Have you heard the echo deep within,
as you listen to the sounds
around you
and in your heart.
