Listen


Listen to the rhythm
The song of the wild
The trees that rustle
The breeze that sighs

Listen to the waves
And the birds in the open
Flying higher as they brave
The vast and wide ocean

Listen to the silence
That keeps stars suspended
Up high in the heavens
Even as the song ended

Listen to the blood rush
Through veins so young
All the world hushed
Life was simpler once

Listen to the heartbeats
That march in tandem
Two lovers asleep
Together in abandon



Listen...listen...
Listen to the symphony of life

    This certainly does have rhythm and propels you right through to the end, a pleasure to read.

    reading this out loud, i was truly moved by it's music, and inherent sadness still as an evening breeze.

    Waves, silence, blood rush, heart beats, stars, birds, trees. The symphony of life, indeed. Loved the inclusion of all of these things, the variety, the life.
