Sounds of Life

My heart beats in my ear
I hear my happiness I hear my fear
This steady sound is like a drum
And is beating now so I hum

To the beat of my brain
Seems music is no strain
Did I choose it or it chose me
Like the sound of dancing feet

The sound of love in a voice
Furry and soft colorful and plush
The sound of a baby breastfeeding
And of the mothers heart bleeding

Sounds of rodents in the green grass
Devouring green garden running fast
Sounds of life giving cherry chase
Sounds of hot tea being pored the taste

Sounds of the cicadas near sugar creek
Sounds of the deer walking gracefully 
Sounds of the river sky flowing
Sounds of life being lived by beings

Incredibly beautiful. Sound is the most important thing in this world, except for gun firing. Great poem.

Dear Karen, You beautifully capture the amazing aspect of life, echoing through the beats of the heart and the rhythm of existence. I loved how the steady drumbeat of the heart to the soft murmurs of love and the tender moments of motherhood, each sound is a note in the melody of life. Through these sounds, I feel you invite us to embrace the richness of life's beauty in the everyday moments that shape our existence. Loved It! - Blessings, Daniel
