Description
From the rooftop,everything is so much clearer.
The sun-painted sky fades,
and the last vibrant strokes are
replaced with the tender gaze of the moon.
In this pale reflection of light,
the flowers curl up to sleep.
The birds sound sweet lullabies,
and the hum of this
all too impatient life finally settling down
encircles and encompasses me,
filling the night with a serene air.
It's colder now, with the black night holding me close;
and, as I breathe in early October's sweet chill,
September slips through my fingers,
and settles on my heart to linger forever.
Now, the darkness cradles me to its heart,
the steady beat of the hope for tomorrow
gently rocking me to sleep.

Nature is the music that I cannot express through my vocal cords.
If that makes sense at all. I suck at coming up with metaphors.

it does... but one can also express music through strings... so that brings a dilemma.... nature is the music that cannot be expressed through sound...
through notes...
