This night and a tomorrow,
Sleeping and waking,
Between noises and pauses,
Can you hear?
the sound of hesitance;
A few suns earlier and many moons after,
Walking and stopping,
Between panting and pointing,
Can you hear?
the sound of a smile;
Today and one twilight later,
Waiting and anticipating,
Amidst busy moments and slowness
Can you hear?
the sound of a heartbeat;
Here and then,
Thinking and saying,
Between dreaming and coaxing,
Can you hear?
the sound of a love;
Now and forever,
Questioning and answering,
Amidst all the futures and presents,
Can you hear?
the sound of asking;
Today and everyday;
Working and resting
Between more and less
Can you hear?
the sound of enough;
Yesterdays and tomorrows
Repenting and hoping
Can you hear?
the sound of prayer,
..about to be answered? |
Submission Name: Can you?
