Western Sounds

The silence that reaches over the landscape is broken only by the wind

The sound is right there until it’s not

I hear it when I’m driving as the wind whips the roof racks, whistling

I hear it coming off the ocean, making it’s way through tiny holes in the rocks.

In the early morning light below the ranges

In the warm summer evenings by the sea

In the harsh midday sun at the side of the highway

In the small country towns were the post office is the grocery store and the local cafe

It’s the sound that follows me everywhere I go

And I bet you can hear it too

It's a song …

and the road that takes you there
