I Listened

I listened The sound of the gushing waters on the rocks Soft sounds soothing to this troubled heart Soothing and mending I listened My soul is yet at peace longing for more Why is it so demanding so wearing? Why is it so exhausting? Heavily I breathe seeking to catch a breath Why so many questions? Is it worth my time………my peace The peace so freely given………. I listened The soothing sound is becoming louder as I search these empty walls Isolation had brought no joy but sorrow Slowly I manoeuvred towards the sound………followed the small streak of light Sunlight stroking this lifeless skin of mine almost scotching but yet warm……… Slowly I walk towards the light…….toward the sound I listened There is an open window……….the sound is coming from the outside…it is now more audible These walls have become a safe abode for me………should I go outside……out where the music plays? Out where the sun shines? I look for a way out and cannot find it………..panic! as I seek my way out my mood soon quickly changing into anxiety……. Gently……..swiftly the sound of the water calms me down and I follow the sound yet again to find my way to a door……….there is a way out…….. I listened First my feet on this foreign ground……….My feet bare on the meadow It is a new feeling…..barefoot I gently walk towards the sound of these gushing waters The sound drawing………mending…….it is a beautiful sound……music to my ears Healing to my soul……….Healing to my heart The warmth of the sun on my skin………soft sound of the birds chirping from the trees up high…….. The wind softly brushing my soft skin……..I am drawn to the sound of gushing waters I listened
