secret symphony

when i'm walking,
footsteps falling
lungs breathing,
heart beating
traffic ebbs and flows,
cars and ppl come and go.
whisper of the rustling leaves
mimicing the buzzing bees
red breast robin sings his song
with every note where it belongs
children laughing happily
a simple sweet melody.
hear a distant train rattling
and friendly neighbours calmly chatting
water flowing over stones
echoing such soothing tones
suddenly a church bell chimes,
deeply and in perfect time,
resonates inside,
music for my mind.
gently as a close my eyes,
i begin to realize
this harmony is just for me...
my secret symphony
