The World Is An Orchestra

The world is an orchestra
Made of all the noise you hear
You can only hear it if you try
You have to strain an ear

Rain thunders against a window
Wind whistles past a tree
Lightning and thunder clash the sky
What a wonderful symphony

Cars honk their horns
Subways thunder past
Conversations everywhere
The music will always last

A dog barks
Children may cry
A vacuum eats
For this music you must really try

A lake grumbles
A loon sighs
A dock creaks
A song for the skies

The world is an orchestra
Made of all the noise you hear
You can only hear it if you try
You have to strain an ear

Arju almaadhira!

That is Arabic for 'I am sorry' or 'I beg forgiveness.' (I started Arabic today.) Anyway, I really am sorry that I have'nt been around in such a long time. You see, I am terrible at remembering web adresses, and I when we switched computers I lost yours, and you usually don't leave a link, so I couldn't come here. I was so worried that you would think I was neglecting you on purpose, and I was just planning to ask you what it was on my own blog when I got your last comment with the link. Please forgive me!

Btw, that poem is simply lovely! I really like the rhyme scheme and the repeated verse at the end! Thanks for posting! You certainly have a talent for poetry, and I simply adored that theme! That is quite a bit how I like to write.

Ok, that is all for now! I'll be back soon!

P.S. I really liked your new blog template.

Hi!

Yes, I am learning Arabic *uh-oh*

But I have only spent two weeks on it so far, so I know about ten words. And I just realized that I am really bad, because in my last comment I spelled 'arjuu' like this 'arju,' leaving out one of the 'u's'

Oh well, I am learning. It is a bit difficult, because I am just using a teach-yourself computer program that isn't exactly helpuful. (It is transliterated. I haven't had the courage to tackle the script yet.)

You mentioned a couple posts back that you had started school. If you don't mind me asking, what grade are you in? If you would rather keep your identity 'mysterious' I totally understand and I won't be offended if you say so. Just wondering. (I am in 8th.)

That's all. Next time you stop by, please *repeat - please* click on the link 'this blog' in my post titled 'Talk About Imagination...' I am even giving you a personal reminder so you have no excuse, right...? :))

Namarie,
Raora
