Shush...Did You Hear That?

Listen to
The raindrops falling
Let us cry…
Wash away
Life’s bitter, stinging pain and
Take away its stain.

Listen to
The ocean splashing
Let us laugh…
Lift our hearts
With cool, refreshing waves and
Penetrate dark caves.

Listen to 
the thunder clapping
Let us shout…
Wake the world
To all that makes it wrong and
Righteousness prolong.

Listen to
The songbird chirping
Let us sing…
Fill our souls
With hope to carry on and
Yesterday, be gone.

Listen to
The wind song howling
Let us rush…
Race the clock
To live life while we can and
Fly within its span.

But, hear now…
The silence screaming
Let us pause…
Long reflect
On that which we must do and
To ourselves be true.
