Shhhh.....

Can you hear that?

It is the sound of your first kiss

The memory of your heartbeat

That pulls your body in all directions

Tasting the freedom

Longing for innocence

It is the sound of the wind

Blowing across your back yard

As the night sky spins frost into winter

Lost in your solitude

Knowing only loneliness

It is the sound of your breath

As you watch the world from a distance

And close your eyes to those that would be friends

Can you feel the hatred?

Do you hope for their suffering?

Shhhh.....

Can you hear that?

It is the sound of you

Remembering the last dance

Looking for tomorrow

Bringing new hope

Lost in the wonder
