Nature's Heartbeat
The sounds of birds chirping
Of winds blowing through the trees
The rustling of leaves
The pets abound, taking it all in
The children laughing and learning about the world
It's all slightly overtaken
By the sounds of the dump truck
And the stylized, personalized cell phone ring tones
And the people talking so loudly on their phones
That they must think that they're alone
The sounds of glass bottles breaking
As people have had too much to drink
And washing machines beating away
And doors loudly creaking
If you pay close attention,
You can push it all away
And get back to Nature's heartbeat
