Only One Sound

I just felt like letting out some feelings one night.

Only One Sound

I’ve always searched for one sound, and only one.

One sound to steal my breath;

One sound to take my hand,

And lead me down a path.

 

You see, sounds create a path,

One full of joy and laughter;

Ones adorned with pain and suffering.

Fire and Ice, perhaps, with Earth dashing through the center.

 

In order to find one sound, however,

You must not use your ears.

No, ears hear noise. 

That one sound is found within the heart’s fears.

 

Fear screams, the body trembling,

The mind at a slow quiver.

It is then that you see what sound really is,

A noise, without the shiver.

 

Sounds echo and resonate,

Embracing the listener. 

Providing them the feeling,

That shall always linger.

It provides courage and strength,

A powerful syndrome,

A light in the dark

That will always lead home.

 

I think I’ve felt my sound,

Roaming about;

Almost obstructed in a pool full of noise.

 

I knew that sound was meant for me ,

Although, it left without greeting.

I searched and searched for that feeling so unique,

And it always seems to be ahead of me.

 

I guess that’s why we’re so unique;

We all have one sound to set us free.

Sounds are important. Can mean many things to us. Nothing as wonderful as a smile from a girl you don't know. A kind word can change our direction and our day. A poem that open the door to more questions. Sounds of children playing and laughing can always bring peace to me. Thank you for a excellent poem.
