This Sunday in April

Rose Marie Raccioppi

A gaze upward to the lucent afternoon sky
A backdrop of sound
baby cooing
child's laughter
seasoned voices speaking
call of mother to child
low squeaking of the swinging swing
dull thump of a bouncing basket ball
cascade of water upon pebble and rock
distant chirping of song birds
sweetly sounding wind chimes
telephone ring of the unexpected caller
All within the silent voices of nature
beckoning buds and bloom new.
