Look, Can You Hear It?
Look, can you hear it? The cry upon the wind?
That is the desperate longing for wonder as the world weeps.
Look, can you hear it? The moan that shakes the earth?
That is the thundering wanting of hearts that beat for peace.
Look, can you hear it? The ringing through the air?
That is the chorus that deigns to speak the edge of piercing truth.
Look, can you hear it? The silence that pervades?
That is the rest that only breathes after all those sounds come first.
