autumn sounds

closing my eyes
i listen to all the sounds
around me; the sound of
the environment, mother earth

the sound of
autumn leaves
falling and landing
softly on the ground

the sound of
the surrounding trees
swaying and humming
their wretched lullabies

the sound of
the opened novel
sitting on my lap,
autumn's breeze fighting
the thin paper

distant sounds
create another world inside
my head; laughter of children
on the playground, dog on their
afternoon walks and the impatient
and angry city traffic

if i can hear all of these sounds
now than how many sounds on
earth are there?

i wonder this
open my eyes
and continue observing
this sad, beautiful world
