Jungle Soprano

When a tree decides to awaken and sing,
its voice rises and resounds
with its dormant emotion now revealed,
sending ripples through the deep wilderness
stirring the idle breeze,
sending it weaving through the branches and the leaves
and sweeping under and lifting the litterfall
that carpets the dense forest floor,
raising and merging the gray, green and brown
into a wild and whimsical whirlwind
with flashes of color spinning and twirling
to the rhythm of the jungle soprano
