Listening To Crickets Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Listening To Crickets



Some depend on chariots
others count on horses
there are those whose sails run smooth
others court dark forces

i was never one to trust
chariots or horses
neither did I venture forth
tempting risky courses

By the wayside was my path
hiding in the thickets
tracking errant dragonflies
listening to crickets

Seems the world has passed me by
in their march to somewhere
traveling on well paved roads
ever heading elsewhere

Some depend on chariots
others count on horses
there are those whose sails run smooth
others court dark forces.

I also walked 'by the wayside', I totally understand and share your feeling on the simple, sweet pleasure of listening to crickets, simply gorgeous, Liilia, simply gorgeous! !
