The Hedge ( Edited July 2018 )

      
He sings within the hedge      
following a muddy  path.      
We have time to spare      
have set aside a-while      
away from streets        
where time is scarce.      
Few have time or inclination …      
None to pause or listen.      
singing songs unique      
of all the millions on  earth.      
Am I the only one to hear      
this haunting tune,        
not recall a single phrase?      
A message remains   ...   ...    
next time,maybe tomorrow,        
shall wait beside a hedge,      
remembering today,
a muddy path, haunting tune
and time to spare.
