Are You Listening?

time keeps changing
sometimes slow
sometimes quickly
first we go

then returning
newly found
streaming dreaming
all around

are you listening?
are you there?
are you nearby?
do you care?

always thinking
wondering when
contemplating
with my pen

rhythmic pulsing
heartbeats' thump
all is quiet
thoughts now dumped

are you listening?
are you there?
we are breathing
the same air

in an ocean
by the sea
atmospheric
ecstasy

breathing in and
out and in
are you listening?
let's begin

at first quickly
and then slow
before returning
we must go

streaming dreaming
all around
are you listening
to this sound?
