Summer Singing
Cicadas, crickets, katydids
pour songs into the world
when I hear their thrumming
in that moment
the world is right
Why are people repelled?
A shell he can shed
those astonishing red eyes
and transparent wings
See the miracle of him!
Such amazing and beautiful colors! "Along with birdsong, the song of crickets is one of the most amazing sounds of nature that has a calming effect from the first note. It gives us a sense of security. It helps keep us focused on what really matters." (google search on healing)
Cicadas are the song of true summer to me, and their long underground life a miracle.
