Lovely. You remind me of one of my favorite poets, Stanley Kunitz:

  Outdoors all afternoon
  under a gunmetal sky
  staking my garden down,
  I kneeled to the crickets trilling
  underfoot as if about
  to burst from their crusty shells;
  and like a child again
  marveled to hear so clear
  and brave a music pour
  from such a small machine.
  What makes the engine go?
  Desire, desire, desire.
  The longing for the dance
  stirs in the buried life.

 -- from "Touch Me," Collected Poems
