Did You Hear Something?

God's voice is but a clear bell sound. - Thoreau

i hear the chatter

voices inside of my head

rasp pitter patter

Author's Note

"A thrumming of piano-strings beyond the gardens and through the elms. At length the melody steals into my being. I know not when it began to occupy me. By some fortunate coincidence of thought or circumstance I am attuned to the universe, I am fitted to hear, my being moves in a sphere of melody, my fancy and imagination are excited to an inconceivable degree. This is no longer the dull earth on which I stood." - Thoreau

What you see with your own eyes is meaningful to me. Seeing is believing. The voices and the chatter are of little significance. Wonderful words Pete.

this haunting haiku about the thoughts that do not leave us alone was superbly written. the last line was a fast powerful swing. i suffer from psychosis, so this was especially chilling for me. it was evocative and twisted my heart around.
