THE 

' SYMPHONY '
 
 
 
 
 
 

I  heard  the  music  of  the  soft  wind  whispering, 
Creating  sounds  of  distant  violins
Teasing  rays  of  sunlight  danced  upon  shimmering leaves
- Hence  the  forest's  conductors  paused,  and  were listening.
 

Traffic  consisted  of  bushy-tailed  squirrels
Scurrying  toward  a  secret  rendezvous
    I  heard  an  orchestra  of  birds  serenading  their mates,
Droplets  of rain  joined  in  with  drumming,  forming 
magnificent  pearls. 
 

After  an  interval  of  a  sweetly  performed  shower
I  heard  a  hummingbird  singing  in  tune
'Twas  as  if  in  acappella  that  a  group  of  bees
Were  harmonizing  while  nursing  a  flower.
 

'Twere  visions  of  glitter  amongst  branches  of  trees,
Creating  an  illusion  of  a  thousand  rainbows
'Twas  no  doubt  this  forest  was  due  an  ovation
For  I  had  been  Audience  to  a  "Grand  Symphony."

I dedicate this poem to my sister Sherena.  She 
always liked this particular poem of mine.  She was 
the first one to hear this poem, as I read it to her 
over the phone, after I wrote it some years ago. 

I love you sis !

love Tammy
