Just Listen

Just Listen

A Poem by Alicia™
"

Don't you hear it? -

"

 Shh…

 
Stop,
And just
Listen.
 
Don’t you hear it? –
The beat of your heart,
The flutter of butterflies’ wings,
And the chirping of birds
Flying
From tree to tree,
City to city.
 
Shh…
 
Stop,
And just
Listen.

I know this is really, really rough, but I kinda like it... Also, I know the ? - thing isn't proper grammar, but I wanted it that way, so ignore that, please.

Interpretations would be greatly appreciated!!

I really like this as it is. Reminds me of the old saying about stopping to smell the roses. Well we all need to take the time to stop and listen. Listen to our spouses, children, friends and family or in this case and I might add the option I like the best - Listen to the silence. You never know what things you will hear.

I love this one. It reminds me that in life you have to stop and listen to the small things and notice them, since they are the most beautiful and the ones that can stop in a blink of an eye. I love this piece, Really good job on it. Keep on writing :)

Great job.. so many are fluttering about daily without stopping to really take in what is around them.. the fresh air can be invigorating.. the winds flowing through trees.. the birds and other daily elements we normally miss.. this is a tribute to studying life and one's surroundings .. just enjoying taking it all in. I loved the simplicity of it.. wonderful!

This says to me that we don't take the time to stop and listen or to notice the important things in life and that perhaps we should slow down and get in tune with the world around us. It's just what I took away from it. It was really quite nice.
