Listen


Sounds Ordinary.

Seems to be lost — somehow

No place holy. No moment forsaken

Music of every kind, fills my ears with awe

Without thought. Without hesitation.

Ever present. Ever Satiated.

As I drift from room to room

Curing my wildest elusive maladies

With all this sweet daze and frenzy

Dare I say, sweet talk and melody

Silence — seems to have lost the war

Now, when it comes. It almost overwhelms me

As if, to wage a war.

I fill my head with quiet sounds and whistles

To claim the remnants of my peace left so little

Oh, it troubles me deeply

How it has come to this lately

Where all these sounds ordinary

Can’t be heard — at all.
