Singing Grass & Laughing Trees

 
Few years ago whilst practicing tai chi

A magical occurrence I did see

I was tranquil and calm as I went with the flow

Had no idea what nature would show

It was very early and the air was brisk

And all was quiet in the morning mist

The sun was out, its rays shone bright

When rain appeared through the morning light

 
All was alive with colour, when I saw this sight

Of this morning’s brilliance and dance of light

I heard the grass sing, they danced and played

The trees clapped and laughed at the grass that swayed

Amused were the trees, at the grass so excited

With their high pitched voices the trees were delighted

 
I stood there shocked, no words to say

Had no idea what I’d see that day

I hear grass, and trees, I hear their song

Am I going mad, could this be wrong

No one else saw what had just occurred

They laughed so hard, my vision absurd

 
But I knew what I heard and saw that day

It enhanced my life and guided my way

Whenever we’re blessed with showers from above

I remember that day, being surrounded by love...
