"She's Having A Boy..."

Life is our perceptions all tied into an existence by ...some... one.  I've lived what follows and heard it again and again.  It helps to know our "silence" is heard.

“She’s Having A Boy…”

Sometimes its like 

I can only hear ...me

- there's no one else

anywhere

everywhere...

and it hurts - damn it hurts.

 

...and then I breathe

again,

pause - then again..

 

And sometimes I see

colors again;

sometimes it's music,

sometimes it's just footsteps

- that aren't mine -

passing near then by...

 

Ever feel you live

in the echoes of others?

The shadows always 

in the corners of your eyes -

the shapes so fleeting

even the ghostlets ...cry.

 

It’s always the damnedest thing

- to KNOW that as the world turns

it is always 1 AM somewhere

and the little voice echoing

over and over inside

isn't just yours…

 

Sometimes it’s in the eyes

that catch ours - somehow.

And you just KNOW

...you're heard.

A shared silence .. I hear you..them

I am doing research on a life that has passed
So much of that life, is right here with me, telling, even listening
I believe .. a little girl was lost
I believe .. a little girl was found
I feel the pain of more than one, if that makes any sense at all..

Many thoughts to ponder... Thank you Chris !

An interesting philosophize concerning an individual's introspection of his own world and then the realization the very same events he experiences, are reoccurring over and over again all around the world!

Thoughtful and enlightening Chris !
