Ghazal: Stand and Listen

By Cadence Cedars

 

I wish to stand here, feet on the earth, heart to the sky, reaching. 

A connection so deep, my soul’s song, ever reaching. 

Tall grass and willows sway gently, whispering low. 

In the stillness of faint humming, I breathe and try reaching. 

Immersed in her embrace, I owe my life to her care; 

Each leaf a promise of love; I stand by, reaching. 

Stand and listen, for life is a melody sung. 

In the arms of her beauty, you belong; listen, by and by, reaching. 

The cadence of nature sings sweetly as rivers flow. 

In the depths of her essence, I find peace, heart beating; I reply—reaching.
