Cricket song, like stars
in the soundscape of the night
illumines the crisp air
with points of aural light
Memories of moments
stretch across the years,
bright spots of joy
like cricket song
fill my eyes and ears
There is a place
for every sound,
for every voice.
So crickets,
alone and in their undulating chorus
invoke my inner song,
let my heart rejoice.
