So much noise, have we forgotten the skill? <br />Let silence surround you and listen. <br />Hear the rain hit the window pain. <br />Hear the silence when the snow falls. <br />Hear the child at play… <br /> <br />SHHHHH Listen <br />Too busy! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! <br />Rather wear my IPOD turned up loud. <br />Rather let the world cries of despair surround me <br />So much noise it overwhelms. <br />Everything is just one noise. <br /> <br />SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <br />LISTEN <br />Let the silence in. <br />Block out the worlds din <br />Let the subtle sounds in. <br />Have you lost the skill? <br />LISTEN <br />SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <br /> <br />So much rushing <br />No time to be still <br />Take time out from the hustle <br />Stand on a hill and listen. <br />Hear the birds call <br />The waves rushing in <br />The brook rushing over rocks <br />SHHHHHH Listen<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/listen-shhhhh-listen/
