Sound of Growing Corn

Someday I want to 
walk out to the edge of a cornfield 
on a full moon night

I will sit myself down on the cool earth
and LISTEN

Can you really hear the corn grow?

Is it growing before my very eyes?

I will look up into the starry heavens
and LISTEN

The corn stalks weave back and forth like a field of wheat
smooth and in sync 

I can Hear the corn growing
in the stillness of the night

in the light of the full moon

it is a beautiful sound
I will sleep awhile
and LISTEN
to my dreams
