As I Sit and Listen

Tonight, in our new home
with time taken just to sit
and listen to the sounds
coming in through
the open window -
I hear the crickets chirping,
a rush of wind rustling
through the tree's,
a car going by
every now and again,
an Amish buggy and horse
galloping by
and the sound that instantly
made me cry -
the melodious sound
of my neighbors keyboard
being played
in sweet worship.

Oh how I'd have missed so much
if I hadn't taken the time
to sit and listen.
