Can You Hear the Quiet
Listen
strain your ear
when neither wind nor traffic break the quiet,
there is a silence pounding in the heart
calling out a hush below a whisper;
there in the depths of every beating heart
lay some dream waiting, unachieved,
some memory aching to resurface
all you need do
is push away that veil of noise
the endless chatter gnawing at the world;
leave it all behind in the falling quiet
and listen in silence.
