J'sai Leahy Poet Rhyme

Just a single sound

I am the WOOSH of the trees
On a steady midnight breeze
Hear the THUD of my heartbeat
The CRACK of bones in my feet
I am very alive

I WHIMPER, BAWL, and SNIFF in tears
RATTLING beneath the weight of years
The SNORE and SHUSH of a tired mind
I'm the CLINK of treasure you find
I'm real through it all

We're the RUSH of waves from the tides
The RUMBLE of stone as earth divides
A world of HUMMING and DRUMMING
As the strings keep STRUMMING
I'm just a single sound

Beata Agustin September 27, 2024 at 1:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed. J'sai Leahy December 3, 2024 at 7:18 AM I deeply appreciate your welcome and warm thoughts on my work. I'm sorry for not having responded sooner and have previously been diverted by my education. I'm glad to be back to poetry.
