On Thought and Water Lilies

He talked about the thinkers as a voice I can listen to,  
but I just listened and then reacted.  
 
We're all so connected by life and the same things,  
and to recognize it, such as geometries unseen is not easy.  
 
There are the notes to a piece of music,  
and then there is the silence that connects them,
 
Such is harmony
 
I wonder about the frogs from my porch swing,
there are chain reactions and a sequence  
that breaks the silence, common manifestations  
of porch peepers off in the distance,  
aimless lovemaking over round the water lilies.  
 
Wondering,  
 
This is the difference in being told something  
and believing, opposed to living and discovering.  
 
One must truly think,
 
The frogs in the darkness,  
and in the listening,  
there is enlightenment in the silence.
