Engulfed in darkness listening to the rain drops as they play percussions on their descent down
My eyes open as the suns smiling rays make their way through the trees canopy
As the rains drumming fades the beat of bird's wings, and the movement of other animals picks up the rhythm
The wind's whispering becomes the wind pipes
The birds chirping and animals howling morph into lyrics
The trees light swaying turns into a fast elaborate dance as the tempo quickens
The trees luscious green bush skirts begin to twirl and the fragrance of their fruits and flowers politely greet my nose before they begin to write the note to the song
I sit there on the forest floor compelled to join in the trees dancing as the animals singing coax me into joining
I lay there humming the melody of the glorious music
The tempo slows, the animals singing softens, the trees begin to just sway to the beat
The sun says its good-byes as it sets in the west still baring its gleeful smile
The forest music almost stops but the moon shows his tender face and the creatures of the night sing their marvelous lullaby to the pitter patter of the rain
I close my eyes as the forests music lulls me into a deep sleep
…The next song has begun
