The Listen Game is a poem by Susan Golden written in August 1998.

At a Music for People workshop in August 2001 at the Art of Improv in upstate New York, Lyn Miller played guitar and sang,
Anni O'Shea  and Azima French-Jackson sang and played with several rhythm instruments to create this improv on the spot and in the moment.

THE LISTENING GAME BOOK 1 --THE SPIRIT OF MUSIC IN NATURE

It's above the sky and under the sea

It's in you

It's in me

It's in the trees and on the ground

It's even in the children on the merry-go-round

We hear it when the wind blows 'round

We hear it when the storm begins to pound

We hear it in the thunder, in the lightening and when the rain falls to the ground 

We hear it in the silence of winter's white blanket of snow

We hear it when the ducks and geese must go

We hear it in the silence just before the morning's dawn

We even hear it from the deer's first fawn

We hear it when the birds and the lizards sing

We hear it when the church bells ring

We hear it when our friends and neighbors talk

We even hear it when the animals walk

We hear it when we stomp in a puddle

We hear it when we splash in the tub

We hear it when the beeeeessssssss are in a huddle

We hear it when the bear talks to her cub

If we listen, we hear it all through the day and night time too

If we listen, really listen, we hear it in everything we do

Do you know what "It" is?

It's the Spirit of Music!

Music is within us and all around us 

Music is a Listening Game 

Music guides us through our days and rocks us gently while we sleep

May you enjoy the MUSIC of your life's symphony!
