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

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.
