EARTH SONG (TANGKA)
-
Meher Pestonji (India)
The
bird whistles
I whistle back
another replies with song
I mimic thesejoyful melodies
Melodious music fills the air
erratic rhythms, shrill tunes
strum against ear drum
making me
smile
Voices
intertwine to
float on breeze
to distant dancing trees
falling leaves waltzing with wind
Whirling leaves reach the ground
carpeting it rusty brown
crumbly crisp crackles
add musical
sounds
We
become three
birds, leaves, me
Nature’s creatures always free
making earth songs for everybody
