Of course, I can talk to animals…

Of course, I can talk to animals…
It is something in the feel of their sounds…
I know every animal language better than most…
Each day I call out to anyone listening.

I announce the beauty of the Mother of all things…
Listen for the soft pops and crackles…
Then, without saying a word…
I wait for nature to come and greet me.

I can understand you too…
I can read the sadness in your eyes…
I can see what lies inches below the surface…
By the way, you look much younger when you smile.

I say yes to each of your heartbeats…
As with you, so with my own…
I know your mind can’t understand all you have to give…
Until it starts giving.

The animals never have too much to say…
They are too busy taking care of their young, and seeking shelter from the cold…
On the other hand, the world waits for each of your words…
Words of truth, words of kindness, words of love.

I love you,

Annie
