Nature wakening
Early morning hour
Dawn’s new arrival
Whispering stillness
Nature witnessing
Unique day ahead
Heavens’ face brightens
Breathing peacefulness
Nature prevailing
Sunrise lifts her shade
Nighttime put to rest
Stirring each creature
Nature conceiving
Life breathes easily
Blossoms swell upward
Seeking tender warmth
Nature gathering
World founded from light
Rhythms now salute
Beaming melodies

Music permeates through the woods
Listen closely, can you hear it?
This melody brings a sense of calm
Nature witnesses a new hit
Calmness radiates from a banjo
Listen again, can you feel it?
Life pauses, taking in this song
Appreciate this moment, let’s sit
Even in darker times, comes light
Listen now, can you feel its blitz?
Calming tune filling every heart
Playing a banjo, without the glitz
People reaching out to others
Living as sisters and brothers
Steve Martin is an accomplished banjo player, and he shares a message of calmness and peace from the woods with his own self-video performance. This video inspired the writing of this poem.
