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...
