“I Listen” by Milla Coryell

I sit on the bank of a bubbling stream
I listen
To the stream to the birds to the people
I listen
I can feel heat I can smell the grass
I can taste the popcorn we brought
I see all these things
I can feel I can taste I can see I can smell
All is well
I listen

We went to a park, and I went to sit by the stream with my notebook, and I looked at the stream and got the idea. The idea grew, and then, I got this poem.
