The Pulse of the Earth

The Pulse of the Earth

 

Listen...

Listen to the beat of the earth.

Listen to its rhythm and watch the tress dance to the music.

The grass hums a tune that only the flowers can hear; they come out to enjoy the show.

Listen to the sound of the rain forest from the top canopy to the low undergrowth......

 

Now listen to the cries of the leaves as they die.

The rhythm of the earth is lost and the trees are falling down to the ground with a loud thud. The grass doesn't show for its performance and the flowers never made it to the show.

Listen as the sound of the rain forest becomes more and more distant.......

 

Listen to the calm sound of the ocean.

Listen as the waves calmly rise and fall.

The streams listen to the melody of the rivers.

an interestingly written piece...sounds of the rain forest with life within and the dying of its life within...

[WatashLegend]

beautiful and serene write filled with peaceful and calming imagery if a mirror had to be put in front of a poem to be shown its own beauty it would be put in front of this one

[Fabric Pulse]

FAVORITED. =]

[Sleeping Maiden]

love the imagery of this poem! ^^ Great write! It shows how nature is slowly dying if we don't take care of nature itself.

[Poetic Beauty]

this is a great way to get peoples attention about destroying the earth. the imagery says it all and you don't have to tell the reader with statements just with the imagery that is painted clearly. I love the way you ended this for you go into the destruction of the ocean river and streams as well.

Beautiful. Listening can be a powerful thing. You can hear so many things once you stop and listen.

I like the idea of flowers making there presence known for the show. That was a beautiful line. Very naturistic.
