A poem about nature by David Tombale: Cricket sounds

Cricket sounds is just about letting a stream of ideas just flow while using nature as my muse.
Cricket sounds

There is a hidden catch inside
the heart of every willow tree

a little cave where swallows go
and squirrels dream of elephants
they’ll never be

Sleeping happily beneath the roots that
rise above me and cradle my creaking bones
I breathe the beauty of cricket sounds
while keeping watch for fox and hounds
and things I thought I’d sometimes seen
but the night resounds and I’m a child
of every cloud.
