hush

"Within a wood
I simply stood,
my thoughts as deep as wells.
I did not hear the sweet bird song.
I did not hear the bells
spring ringing through
the valleyed hills
from tree to tree to tree.
I did not hear the
windy, haunting rushing of the sea.
I did not hear the light leaves fall
and whisper to the ground.
I did not hear a thing
because there wasn't any sound."
Karla Kushkin

"Do you hear the parrot squawk?
He's talking to
a celery stalk.
The parrot likes to squawk and shout
and throw a lot of seeds about." Karla Kushkin
