Someone listened to the sounds of the earth and unraveled great mysteries....
Listen to the bees buzzing
The meaning of industry
In springtime
Listen to the waves crashing
The meaning of gravity
That defies winter
Listen to the thunder breaking
The meaning of sound velocity
Autumn night fears
Listen to the lightning
The meaning of electricity
Deep in the summer
Someone listened to the sounds of the hearth and unraveled humanity
Tears slowly falling
The meaning of humanity
Every season ends
Clocks ticking
The meaning of mortality
Every winter comes
Listen to the guns firing
The meaning of atrocity
Ideologies change
Listen to hands clapping
The meaning of community
Celebrations here!
Someone, listen. Continue to listen.
For Thursday Think Tank and Haiku Heights.

Ninot Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that the sounds on earth of buzzing and rumblings can be made acceptable and in sync to that of rumblings of guns and the heart. Wonderfully done to round off what's on the ground! Great write Ma'am!
