Under an Indiana Sky
 

why can't you hear it...

the beautiful symphony of sound

being played just for you

under this perfect Indiana sky?

 

close your eyes

and listen to the music

that lies like white noise

beneath  your hard working bodies

and  your busy minds.

 

get beyond your toil,

 your  thinking,

and feel the vibration of Life

buzzing in the branches

of the majestic  trees

that stand so protectively around you

 

 

rest  your sleepy heads back

and breathe in 

the chords of living

that are so eloquently strummed

by  the instruments of cicadas

as the  katydids and crickets

 sing in perfect unison

 

hear the wind

whistling so sweetly

 through the

happy tussled heads of corn

that dance and sway

in the endless fields behind you

 

rest in this

like you so deserve to do

 as your envious eastern cousins
hold their breath in awe.
