The Sound of Life

Saturated in sounds Too intense to ignore And of them you hear It's raining cats and dogs Right outside your window Wondering if it'll ever let up Aching echoes pound inside you Yet it isn't enough, more is needed The goal is to hear and understand more Overcoming the mundane human limitations Tough, but you'll try and manage the harsh burden Heaving the unsure thoughts out of mind and ascending Even the birds, the moon, the sun isn't as high as you feel Still you are hoping to help those who reach out for a hand That is your only way to know for sure it is really happening And it isn't all in your head, I feel it too, it's excruciatingly sweet Ready to burst forth and envelop you in it's beautiful horrific light Suddenly, the sound comes to a complete stop and you're living again
