Susurrus

[hybridic]

"Susurussssursussussussurrussusurururrussurrusssssssss..."

There are voices in the trees.
They rustle and whisper,
murmuring words that I can hear but cannot understand.

There are voices in the water.
Bubbles float up to the surface, rippling --
writing strange languages in the flickering reflections.

There are voices underground.
They crunch and crumble, creaking, cracking --
scratching claws tapping in codes
that I can almost decipher.

There are voices in the air.
The soft tongue of a butterfly's wings
is speaking, speaking --
whispering secrets.

There are voices all around me.
Rushing, shushing, sending messages.
The voices are everywhere, everywhere,
surrounding me with this soft susurrus of sounds.
