Listen, It Speaks.

Unaware of the passing time I lay listening, to the steady beat.
Pounding in my ears, every throb, A word. Its muffled voice reaches me.
Across all the barriers, it speaks to me. Through the cold metal wall, I hear.
Every flutter and pulse. Its changing rhythm to every breath I take. A split now.
A rapid bound next. Telling me not what I was thinking, but feeling. I lay silent.
Quiet. I dare not move. Lest I fail a glimpse. An insight into my thoughts.
A reason behind my actions. A deep breath now, sensing the flood in.
The scents of the world around me, providing for the hungry soul.
The numbness spreads across, as I begin to comprehend.
Its' language, its' message, flowing though my veins.
It is my sole companion from the beginning.
Until the end, when stricken mute.
Leaving nothing behind, but,
Silence. It tells me, now.
Listen, learn and live.
Always love.

It sounds lovlier than it looks and it looks lovlier than it sounds, as in love at first sight.

so true!

it's an amazing feeling to just sit there and listen to it and learn about how it's formed and how it supports a being. scientific and poetic shades...

its also amazing that it embraces all and leaves no one. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do or where you belong to, it comes, hits and leaves you craving for more.

its the core of all living things. literally and metaphorically.

 

About Me!

To escape from the humdrum existence people call "life", I explore the jungle of my mind. A meandering path, with thoughts as my obstacles. I put aside the smiling face of my mother, snapshots of holidays with friends, lost memories of my childhood... All in an attempt to find answers to my branching questions.
