Listen…

I listen to the wind…

Blowing through my mind

A cacophony of ideas

Drifting at random

In a sea of dancing bodies

Swaying to a single drumbeat.

I listen to my soul…

Whispering elegies of love long gone

Simplifying madness

Into mathematical equations

That is lurking in my head

Like a sickening cancer.

I listen to the train…

Pitter-pattering through the purple haze

Of a sorrowful sky

Drifting water, like sharp arrows

Through the cold grey pavement

Of a road untaken.

I listen to your heart…

Contradicting the rambling of my soul

Pushing me to convert my beliefs

Pushing me to extinguish my fears

Pushing me to forget my pas defeats

To the comforts of your being
