Listen to the rooster's call, awakening at dawn and dew, <br />Listen to the flatland breeze, as fresh as love anew, <br />Listen to the dust kicked up, so startling and true, <br />A never-ending stream reflecting sky so baby blue. <br /> <br />Listen to the water flow, a crescendo over rock, <br />Listen to the drinking doe; innuendo, silent talk, <br />Listen to the autumn leaf, falling graceful from the stalk, <br />A never-ending path that only insane man could walk. <br /> <br />It's never quiet. <br /> <br />Listen to the voices boom, vibration in the air, <br />Listen to the noises bloom, salvation without care, <br />Listen to the clouds move in, your doubt with sudden flare, <br />A never-ending storm that shouldn't ever seem so rare. <br /> <br />Listen to the avalanche - the stone tumble, shake, <br />Listen to the earth collide in submissive final quake, <br />Listen to the screams, the cries, in Hell's climatic break. <br />Listen to the bells chime twice in bishop's lonely place, <br />Listen to the children weep as parents change their pace, <br />Listen to the lost unloved who never had a taste, <br />Listen to the mirror's face every time you want to change, <br />For your never-ending thoughts are only a step away. <br /> <br />Listen to the sunfire fade, replaced by candlelight, <br />Listen to the grassy glade, embraced in naked sight, <br />Listen to the mass He made, for love and hate alike, <br />and listen to the peace and quiet instilled by silent night. <br /> <br />Never, never <br />quiet.<br /><br />Kale Beaudry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-never-quiet/
