In the Wake of the Trains Whistles Lure

There is something about hearing the melody of a distant trains whistle 'in a still quiet moment' It is especially so, just after the the sun has descended on a hot summers day. It is no less endearing to the ear than the meadow larks song 'in a still and quiet moment' when out in farmland hay fields just after sunrise on a fresh spring morning or laying down to sleep in a grove of trees, on a still night, watching the moon rise and hearing a great horned owl calling to its mate, and in the distance, its mate calling back. And then there's the spectral sound of the loon as its call carries over the surface of a high mountain lake at the break of dawn, and echoes back from the tree lined shore. Precious sounds that nature sings that can reach our soul 'in still quiet moments' The train whistles melody may not be a song of nature, but, 'in a still quiet moment' it connects with my soul, just the same. And to me and my kind, it is precious........and alluring.
