A 150-foot tall oak tree stands
On the moss covered ground.
The sound of crickets chirp in the distance
And the gulping of frogs down by the pond,
Create a cacophony of noises
That equally sounds melodious.
The morning dew still stands
On the leaves of the oaks and ferns.
Drops fall one by one in succession,
Plop é plop é plop é
A beat for the cacophony of noise
Carried from a distance.
That?s what I think of
When I curl up in a ball and hide in between
Two sofas.
Listening to a cacophony of words,
Horrid to the ears,
My heart pumps vigorously,
A beat for the cacophony of words
Carried from a distance.
On the moss covered ground.
The sound of crickets chirp in the distance
And the gulping of frogs down by the pond,
Create a cacophony of noises
That equally sounds melodious.
The morning dew still stands
On the leaves of the oaks and ferns.
Drops fall one by one in succession,
Plop é plop é plop é
A beat for the cacophony of noise
Carried from a distance.
That?s what I think of
When I curl up in a ball and hide in between
Two sofas.
Listening to a cacophony of words,
Horrid to the ears,
My heart pumps vigorously,
A beat for the cacophony of words
Carried from a distance.
