In Chordal Abundance

 

In chordal abundance

 

I can hear the whisper

 

Of the insects' wings

 

Fluttering feckless

 

Against the crisp

 

Shimmering birdsongs

Lost in the cymbals

 

of the waterfalls.

 

It's a quivering I hear-

 

The Naphesh and Noise

 

of Earth's Nature-

Locked in mind,
Linked in memory-
Locked in time.

A plethora of sounds

 

Vibrating around-

 

A symphonic chorus

 

Of all life's breaths-

 

The timbres that soar

 

Above all the clamour and roar-

 

Beats many rhythms

 

To replay and replay

 

To silence the

Somber soliloquies

 

Sung from the sprung

 

Trebled troubles.

 

Dissonance is  dissolved

 

with a dose of

Harmony's nepenthes--

 

It is all in the Tuning.

The poem is amazing, as expected, but I was exceptionally taken by your choice to give each line their own space, then squish:

Locked in mind,
Linked in memory-
Locked in time.

in its own stanza. I love when the form shows what the words are saying.

Oh yes, natures very own music. Best one I have read for a long time. Clever as always.
