Can You Hear It?

There are days when, 
although I try to open myself 
to wonder, wonder just 
won’t be found. Or perhaps,
it is more accurate to say 
on those days I am simply 
blind to what the world 
has to offer 
until I look down, and there, 
beside the sidewalk,
are blades of grass completely 
enrobed in ice, shimmering
in the glow of the setting sun,
and as they sway and move 
into each other, if I listen, 
really listen,
even they are singing 
faint little bell-notes of joy.

--Paula Gordon Lepp
