2nd place in the contest
With fluttering ears
a sound that no one else hears -
the feeling is stuck
It might have been the wind
a pain and sadness that mocks us all
the voice was speaking to me from within
As the branches of the trees sway,
a voltage by electrical reverberation
The sound disturbed the animal's hearing
shadows of eyes, teeth and claws
my foolish straining of sensitive senses
Yesterday's vision
climb back to its destiny -
haunting, empty pain
The connections between the present and the past
Characterized by a larger objective,
the gods might have for them
Ancestral heritage that remains rooted in memories
Could that be you I'm hearing?
The bells of the past ring the echo of solitude
unjust is the last word of the sentence
- no life goes in silence
Walking past the moon, will listen to the dawn
Blindness in the dark
echo sound in the ears -
have listened and sung
