I lie awake


in a vast forest of sounds;


my fine-tuned senses

scan the night.


somewhere a storm

scatters static on a radio band,


somewhere a tree

iridescent with rain


is a luminous patch

on my radar screen.

you're welcome

This reminds me of when my son was playing high school football. My wife and I had seats right at the top of the stands under the press-box and with the school band seated off to our right. But during the game with loudspeakers blaring and 1500 fans screaming, cheerleaders chanting and drummers drumming, my son out in the middle of that field could make out his petite moms voice above that raucous cacophony.

and that is the power of natural bonds

Atmospheric words , i like the idea of a vast forest of sounds.
