Ode To Songs Without Words Poem by David Whalen

The animal kingdom does
Just fine without words
Sounds by themselves
All that needs to be heard

The breeze in the trees
Is music to me
The sound of laughter
Is happy harmony

The rumble of thunder
Is nature singing bass
The crackle of lightning
The cymbal's apace

The cheery tinkle of water
An aquatic chorus
Wendingand lending
Wind chimes to the forest

Nature knows little of lyrics
Could not care less of rhyme
And that's the name of it's game
Since the beginning of time

Song Without lyrics to some
Is akin to life without love or words
To some of us (humans)perhaps
…but not to Nature nor birds! ...112 words
