Listen to the flecks of rain <br />That fall on dusty ground <br />Listen to the bird's sweet song <br />As earth's waking comes around <br />Listen to the baby's cry <br />As it enters in this world <br />Listen to the mother's tears <br />as they melt death's chilling swirls <br />Listen to the lover's call <br />At midnight in the rain <br />Listen to the shreaks of war <br />As they batter soft domains <br />Listen to your heartbeat <br />As it swells the mighty crowd <br />Listen...... hear life's tapestry..... <br />good... bad...... indifferent...... loud<br /><br />Philip Vincent Sanders<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/listen-13/
