Another Dawn, Another Day

(Out of Eden: Act V) Have you heard the sound of hooves go….. ‘clippety clippety, clop’? That is the sound that the Pale Horse makes, when down on Earth to shop. That Reaper mean, the one called ‘Grim’, Takes tortured souls with wanton whim. That rider of the Pale Horse smirks - goes …clippety, clippety, clop. ...clippety, clippety, clop. Have you heard the sound of chests go…… ‘boom-a de boom-a de boom’? That is the sound that the poor heart makes in throes of gloom and doom. Horrors unleashed you freeze with fright, Hormone screaming ‘flee or fight!!!’ The stricken heart pounds deathly beats - goes '...boom-a de boom-a de boom’….boom-a de boom-a de boom’! Have you heard the sound of guns go ….rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, tat? That is the sound that the nozzle made when out, it’s bullets, spat. To claim a life and rip apart The victim …and a loved one’s heart. That nozzle spits out rhythmic hate - goes…rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, tat! …rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, tat! Have you heard the sound of bells go ..ring-a-ling, ding-a-ling, dong? That is the sound that the Church bells make to mark a victory song. Men may die, and many shall mourn But Life itself is not forlorn. Be brave, take heart…the Church bell peals, ..goes: ring-a-ling, ding-a-ling, dong …ring-a-ling, ding-a-ling, dong! Have you heard the sound of the Cock; go …kook-a-doodle, kook-a-doodle, doo? That is the sound that the rooster makes when light, the days, renew. Days will come, and days will go And Life goes on the way we know. So listen, hark! The cockerel crows - ….it goes: …kook-a-doodle, kook-a-doodle, doo ...Kook-a-doodle, kook-a-doodle, doo…………Kook-a-doodle, kook-a-doodle, doo - Another Dawn ...another Day ….kook-a-doodle, kook-a-doodle, doo!

The imagery of the sounds catches the attention and how emotion has its own sound
