Listen

by Adelle   Sep 2, 2012


Surrounded by noise, chaos
The never ceasing traffic,
Cats fighting in the alleyway
Silence seems so distant.
So take a moment to let it go
Sit, listen; Can you hear your heart beat?
Life's true rhythm, life's true melody
Surrounded by silence
Can you hear?
Breathe, breath listen to life itself
Can you hear?

    I really didn't think you were focusing about silence, rather I thought you were talking about life. And how with everyday noises we don't realize that we are alive. That we should take some time and enjoy life and Listen to the true melody that is our heart. To Take a break and relax.

    There is a typo.. I think...

    Breathe, breath listen to life its self

    I believe it should be "to life itself" instead ot its self.

    Great imagery of the surrounding noises...I really like the addition of the cats fighting in the alley, I can just hear the howls and hisses. lol

    I like the comparison of the silence as well, great contrast. Sometimes all we need to do is listen and we will be able to listen to the silence.

    Very intersting. Seems to have a deep meaning behind it. Where it speaks of silence and lifes true melody. Not all the trafic and noise of the man made chaos that covers the world these days. Very nice and very meaningful. Keep it up.
