Sing Song

                               

The song of the seashell and the breaking wave, the song the moonbeam makes upon the silent sky, the song of flip flops as they walk on sand, the singing the blades of grass create under my bare feet, the song I sing while putting a baby to sleep…soft and hush and murmurs running deep. The stinging bee-stung song and the echo of sweet honey pretty-please. The song of the rolling pin and the tea kettle early in the morn, the singing of v-a-c-a-t-i-on in the back of the pick-up truck, the cracking song of the baseball bat, the song that tips my hat, the song of shower tears as they splash on the floor, the singing snore, the song of campfires and playing hearts, the song of you and me, the song of spitting fire and ice cubes in a glass. The song of long hot summers and the melody of long ago.

  5. Splendid lyrical post! I love all those sounds of summer and sea.

  6. You described the song in a rural area so well. I’m afraid that here you have to add in the singing of tires on the highway, the rumbling song of construction equipment in the distance, the song of sirens at the intersection… not the same sweet sweet song near the sea!

  7. Well you’ve got me smiling comme habitude though I’d like to cry instead ๐Ÿ™
