Listen

Thoughts .............

Listen to the flecks of rain

That fall on dusty ground

Listen to the bird's sweet song

As earth's waking comes around

Listen to the baby's cry

As it enters in this world

Listen to the mother's tears

as they melt death's chilling swirls

Listen to the lover's call

At midnight in the rain

Listen to the shreaks of war

As they batter soft domains

Listen to your heartbeat

As it swells the mighty crowd

Listen ...... hear life's tapestry .....

good ... bad ...... indifferent ...... loud

"Listen to the mother's tears
as they melt death's chilling swirls " What powerful lines!
You have actually woven life's tapestry through the sounds captured in your art.

"Life's tapestry"......I love that, Phil.

I choose the quiet part of the poem, lol You did wonderfully with the contrast of sounds here....going from midnight rain to the shrieks of war....a true auditory experience :-) Nicely done!

Very deft job that tunes the reader's inner ear in to life itself. Great perceptive feel to it.

This is really well done! Great imagery, I can see and hear what you describe...and once again, the rhythm and rhyme is there, like frosting and a cherry on top of a cupcake! This once is going into my favorites folder my friend!
