A Lot To Listen To
Sometimes, if you're lucky,
there is nothing to hearbut the sound of the windblowing through trees.
Now you could say:"That's not much to listen to."Or you could listen...
Listento the rustling, hissing, whispering, sometimes angry soundof thousands of almost silent brushings of leaf against leaf,of feather-light taps of twig striking twig,any single act nothing to hear at allbut when the tree is big enoughand the leaves are numerous enoughand the branches reach out thinner and thinnerpoking out toward the suncarrying leaves to their destiny,
then you might be able to hearthe sound of the windblowing through trees.
It's a lot to listen to,if you can hear it.
