I Hear...

the sound of joy and laughter
          it can drown out squeals of pain
and when darkness is suppressed
          only brightness will remain...

the sound of a heart beating
          pounding out its proof of life
until it's sound subsides suddenly
          when hardship twists a knife...

the sound of music can soothe
          and it can tame the savage too
but if the music were to die
          turmoil could come oozing through...

the sound of my inner voice
          trying to guide me along my way
with so much contradiction a midst
          I heed every word those voices relay...

**the sound of silence
          is such a deafening tone;
with sorrows isolating us              
          when tears are cried alone...      

the sound of my soul as it's screams
          for me to let my spirit free
and stop trying to change into someone
          that other people want me to be ...

now I've listened intently to the universe
          after doing so this is what I construe
that if I want to enjoy peace and harmony
          then I must be prepared to spread some too...

LISTEN... What do you hear?
