summer night

this summer evening
a shimmering stillness
warm and full
rhythmic waves
a song of love
reverberating through
the sweet night air

crickets playing 
the perfect instrument 
their tiny bodies
vibrating
singing to each other
and 
the deep night
a collective prayer
of longing
and
union

i listen
mesmerized
deeper still
i lean in
at the edge of my seat
sound waves
criss crossing
rhythm and flow
a glowing tapestry
an infinite chorus
of life 
saying 

Yes
