What then is said in a mocking birds song or in <br />the whisper of a wave or wind that rustles <br />through a field of wheat? <br /> <br />What words speak the falling rain or the rushing of <br />a brook or the speech of drifting leaves? <br /> <br />Can you hear the quiet words among the clouds or <br />the gentle voice beyond the stars? <br /> <br />If you say nay, I know not of these words or sounds, <br /> <br />how sad it is...for you have never truly lived <br />..until natures call is heard within. <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-say-nay/
