Listen well… incline your ear;
Be quiet and you’ll hear
That all of creation is singing,
In harmony, they lift their voices
The birds chirping a melody
In sync with the leaves clapping.
Take a moment and listen
To the waters rumblings
Overlap the gentle winds howls

Still your heart, O Mortal
Listen to the smile of a child,
Pay attention to the jump of a toddler,
Sing to the rhythm of a lover’s heartbeat
Join the choir that accompanies rain,
Hum to the chorus, a starry night brings
Join the flowers and compose a stanza
For all of creation is singing a song,
It’s a beautiful song…
