VOICES IN THE WOOD {An Original poetry} Day 63

(I)

On a beautiful journey to nowhere
I step into the talking mountains and the speaking trees
the grasses are like tape worms in the open
the earth is littered with leaves with failing kidney
a cycle ending with glee.
but starting like another in a spree.

(II)

I can hear the voices in the woods
it's unnatural like the sudden ailings
of the tropical flowers as the withers away.
It's like the beautiful tapping
of the earthen drums beating in sequence
like the symphonic melody of the cuckoo bird
when the sun is sitting in the middle of the sky.

(III)

It's like a steady whooshing, a cacophonous melancholy.
deep In the very pit of the soul;
like mother earth speaking in parables
Words toxic and inedible
only soothing on the surface
but like a flute with ultrasonic wailing
uncomfortable to the lobs of the ears.

(IV)

The world is just a storm in a tea cup.
ravaging the essence of naturalness
like a molten magma on top a mountain
the music, is in the dancing of the leaves
the gentle wriggles of the wild rosemary;
to a beat, long and distant deep into nothingness.
Where broken branches snaps into songs
and the pyre of David, sweeps a lyre.

POETIC NOTES & ANALYSIS

---

Music is a key element of nature, if we look at the singing of birds, and the noises of nature, In other words, the outside world sometimes seems different than inside the forest of wood where the noises sometimes goes from being just natural to being something more innate, inept and more meaningful.

In other words noises are part of music if only they can be aligned in beats with various symphonic wave length.

Voices in the woods, is a poem that gently speaks about noise having more meaning, than we align to them, only if we see it, feel it and listen very carefully to it.

The poem is written in four stanzas, with no rhyming pattern or any from of metric arrangements.
