it’s everywhere now
all i had to do
was listen
let it in
be

from my heart
beating
as the morning light
resonates
life

to the stillness
hanging
each nightfall
giving pause
rest

the music
is everywhere

for a long time i really wasn’t listening
for far too long

it’s funny though
to write and sing songs without really listening
to spend all that time giving so much attention to a cacophony of voices out there and believing that i’m somehow better informed than…

than if i would just stop
and listen
to the beautiful melody
of a living planet

all around me
it throbs
and hums
the whole world sings
and yes

cries
