Sounds Of Country

A country breakfast finished up and dishes in the sink, as
The old kitchen pump draws up from the cistern below
The sound of water splashes into a metal pan

Chickens clucking in the barn yard eagerly await, as
Cracked corn is thrown out onto the graveled lane
The sound of an old feed grinder as the handle turns

Fields of cut hay lay drying in colorful rows, as
Wagons sit along the side waiting to be used
The sound of the tractor starting up in the barn

Mom in her flowered apron gazes through the window, as
Dad moseys down the lane with fishing pole in hand
The sound of a creek rippling nearby

A golden sunset slithers behind the rolling hills, as
Night begins to fall and fireflies light up the sky
The sound of crickets fill the air

The warm night breeze moves the bedroom curtains, as
Moonbeams shine a glow of softness across the bed
The sound of an old owl slumbers the night into dawn

Ice.....
