SUMMER CONCERT
Bugs, birds, chirps, squeaks,
bluebirds and frogs, owls
and a bark or two from two
dogs down the street,
wind chimes next door,
so many different sounds
coming through the trees and grass,
streaming across the invisible breeze,
warm summer evening – music
to my ears – sitting here,
in the semi-darkness, simply listening,
in a comfortable auditorium seat,
in a screened in porch.
Who says God didn’t want
to make music in the night
with Bernstein and Bach,
Ravelle and Rachmaninoff?
