What's Music To Me? Poem by Susan T. Aparejo

The chirping of the crickets,
The tic tak of the clock,
The meow of newly born kittens,
The swaying of the branches,
The cascading waterfalls,
The sound of the jungle wisps,
To the soft pillows of my ears,
They are all music to me.

Yet in the real world, they're just yesterdays,
Today is the boom, boom, boom of vehicles,
The bang of the bomb and the gun,
The noise of the rockers
Tearing all the eardrums,
To the music of the present,
Enduring is all I can do,
Music to them, But not in me.!
