Whispers-

Leaves rustling in maple trees

Rolling, crackling across the ground

A soft wind whispers in my ear

A gentle, prayerful sound

Caterpillars slurp on juicy leaves

If you listen you will hear

The fish that jumps in the brook

The footfalls of the deer

Sounds in the night that frighten me

Whisper comfort through the day

Like the forever rhythm of Cricket's chirp

As I sleep, and work, and play

I've heard the flutter of Butterfly's wings

And the drip of a morning dew

The early bird singing a happy tune

Wake up you sleepy Pooh

There is so much whisper in the wood

Up, down, around, and through

Like the cracking birth of Robin's eggs

It's like the birth of nature too

Pooh Bear
