My chosen prompt:
“The earth has music for those who listen.”
Quote by George Santayana
Earth Music
We are lying in my most favourite place. The Blue Mountains speak to us in voices that only they provide our imagination.
Under tall, silent to the naked ear, mountain eucalypts we relax to take in the choir that sings around us.
By the gurgling creek descending into the valley below, the fairy children dance to the sounds of mountain grasses waving in the wind, the tree nymphs sing their praises to the sun, a song of joy to behold.
A kookaburra laughs, his cry of territory and joy at the dawn, a moment of enticement among so many.
I look to my love, who like me is mesmerized by the cacophony of silent sounds only we hear and celebrate, our fingers entwined.
nature’s mystery
plays out a symphony
mesmerizing.

You have expressed the beauties of nature and the shared pleasure in a most evocative manner. Are the Blue Mountains in Australia? Some if the elements you described reminded me of the Swiss Alps.
Yes the most beautiful place you could imagine. Thank you for your comment I am pleased you saw it in this way.Thanks Gabriella.
Btw I think the link you provided is broken/wrong. You might want to check it.
Idyllic scene beautifully described.
Thanks Mr Elephantcant. It is a beautiful place.
You took me right there (and a lovely place it is!) Last year I heard my first kookaburra and it makes me smile just the thought of it. Your haiku was a pleasure to read out loud! Maureen
Yes Maureen I would have said that too. In fact for me the haiku should be read out loud. Where I live I wake up most mornings to the kookaburras laughing in the trees. It is a cry they use to establish territory.
Beautiful. Description of tree nymphs and fairy children – almost like a fantasy world.
Thank you for your comment. It is easy in the Blue Mountains to image such things existing.
Beautifully descriptive
Thank you for your comment.
A haibun that mentions tree nymphs is as you say, a joy to behold.
Thank you Steph.yes I agree you can’t go past a good tree nymph.
Your words are so beautiful, I greatly enjoyed both your haibun and your haiku! 🙂
