Agathos Dorea

There are songs that come for free from the blue-eyed grass,
from the dust of a thousand country roads.
But unless we listen intently, we’ll miss these songs;
like the one on our shoulder or the one on autumn’s last leaf.

So listen to the songs and sounds of life,
And take what comes for free from the blue-eyed grass,
and harken to the voices that call from a thousand country roads.

~Robert James Waller, A Thousand Country Roads
