awakening at dawn

I wonder if anyone else has an ear so tuned and sharpened as I have, to detect the music, not of the spheres, but of earth, subtleties of major and minor chords that the wind strikes upon the tree branches. Have you ever heard the earth breathe?
Kate Chopin

awakening at dawn
to the mystical music
wind through the pines

no familiar scale
these pine trees breathe what soul knows:
ancient melodies

awakening cells-
memory shaken, by trees,
doing soul dance at dawn

Kate Lamberg
