Listen

Open your ears and listen

Really listen

Can you hear it?

The ocean

An airplane

Wind in the trees

A fly

A bee

Open year ears and listen

I can hear it

Heart beats

Heards

Flocks

Colonies

Cities

Listen

Open your ears and listen

Really listen

The pitter-patter of raindrops?

Lightning crackling

Followed by deafening rolling roars of thunder?

Your own breathing disturbing the silence?

Open up your ears and listen

Every sound strikes a chord

Every movement—percussive

Every beast

Every mind

Every life

Every atom

Each living away life

To their own rhythm

Listen Open up your ears

Can you hear the music?

Music in every existence

I live for those sound

s Open up your ears

Really listen

Just listen.

I am a quirky person. I have many passions. however, my emotions tend to get in the way of things. some day I might even learn to use the hurricane inside my soul to fuel the fire of passion that drives me. so thanks for reading my poems. I am not very good at the spelling or the grammar. however writing makes me feel better. I am currently using this poetry to help me work through the death of my best friend. I am really struggling with the loss. I do apologize for her being the center of all my poetry. however if you are trying to work through a loss I would really suggest writing about it. it is the only way I know how to cope. I am not a good writer. however I hope you like some of my poems.
