I find walking in nature everyday inspires my writing. This poem by Thomas A Clark perfectly captures the essence of how nature inspires music.
A school of minnows, darting in a shallow stream, is jazz
A clear brook, tumbling over pebbles, is counterpoint
A pair of orange-tips, fluttering in a meadow, is Mozart
A cloud of dust moats, drifting in a sunbeam, is chamber music
A patch of thistles, lurking in the fog, is dissonance
A herd of deer, stepping in oak woods, is plainsong
Taken from Jazz by Thomas A Clark.
