Could It Be This Easy?

 

  1. Could it be this easy?

  2. The morning dove sings out

  3. Some still slumber

  4. Others have been scouring nature all night long

  5. Every night, for years on end

  6. Transcribed on paper

  7. Bound in books

  8. They thought they might find answers

  9. A way through

  10. They turn and look at their books

  11. Trying to remember

  12. How light falls in the forest

  13. Diffused

  14. Shimmering like starlight on an ancient sea

  15. Now the morning grass is illuminated

  16. The birds pay no mind to the squirrel

  17. Enunciating her warning

  18. This rhythmic conversation

  19. For those who have ears

  20. To hear.
