The Listener's Meditation

have you ever stopped

for just a small moment?

stopped and listened -

not outwardly

not to the breeze moving about carelessly

or the skittershuffle

of vibrantly dying leaves

against the cracked pavement.

no - ignore these things

turn your ears inward

 

breathe

listen to the sound as it starts

a tiny wheeze through stuffy nasal passages

feel the sensation of the cold air

as it flows down and expands your lungs

 

from there..

 

listen to your heartbeat

there's worlds between each pulse

each percussion held inside your chest

flows through you in ripples

there's wonder in there

amongst the decadent blue

 

(which only becomes red when outward oxygen infuses it -

something to think about in that, no?

some odd sort of life lesson

or synchronicity

or whatever you want to call it

in that)

 

wait

listen closer

what is that?

that glimmering sort of shimmersound

buried deepdeep within

inside the firing synapses of electrified motions

push past the muscle, the meat

housing the sound

listen closer...

 

...what is that?

do you hear?

Reviews

[Arthur Crow]

This beautifully though provoking, it takes the readers mind deep within the self... to be aware of the hidden beauty, the sound of the soul. Perhaps where true meditation and peace dwells. This piece, while extremely well scribed, inspires the heart and imagination. Loved it!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Deep. An inspirational look at the inner self.

This is well written, emotion involved in this.
