Listen to the morning birds with their wake up song
Listen to the footsteps in the house where you belong
Listen to the new borns as they utter their first sounds
Listen to the children’s laughter ringing through playgrounds
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the anger in the voices in a fight
Listen to thunder as it cracks on stormy nights
Listen to the people having conversations nearby
Listen to the whirring fans on ceilings way up high
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the sounds of hooves galloping on the ground
Listen to the lost shelter pups crying to be found
Listen to the man as he whistles his tune
Listen to the clink of your knife and spoon
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the waterfalls that flow from rocks above
Listen to the cooing of the released caged white dove
Listen to the whispers of children out at play
Listen to the elderly and what they have to say
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the waves as they tumble to the shore
Listen to the high heel shoes step across the floor
Listen to the pelting rain upon an iron shed
Listen to the winds blow strong when your warm in bed
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the band you love sing your favourite song
Listen to the keyboard click when your typing all day long
Listen to the crackling of wood burning in the fires
Listen to the breath inhaled and listen when it expires
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to your heart beat strong beneath your chest
Listen to when someone speaks, that their life is in a mess
Listen to the child that says that they feel pain
Listen to the teenager who wants to come home again
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the bubbles in an effervescent drink
Listen to the water drip into the kitchen sink
Listen to the kittens as they softly purr
Listen to the shoes of a flamenco dancer
~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the one you love when they have something to say
Listen to the friends you have and laugh with them each day
Listen to the abused animals who haven’t got a voice
Listen to the sadness of others so that one day they may rejoice
Listening… A simple thing we take for granted.. sometimes we hear but do we always listen

My son’s would say I’m guilty of this one! *whoops* I don’t mean to! I kind of go off to my own little world. …..Paula x
I think we are ALL guilty of that, so you’re not grabbing the medal for that young lady! **laughing** xx

This is great! I wouldn’t have thought of all these things! You are mighty observant!
Thank you! I sat here Mel in front of the monitor and looked outside to the neighbours fence and some trees and that’s what evolved..I am SURE you would have thought of them too 🙂 xxx
I have a hearing loss, but I’m guilty for not listening to what I hear. Stunning poem you wrote. Thanks for sharing!
You are most welcome. Thank you for your lovely comments.
I am slowly catching up on things Mumsy ….and see’s this 2nd blog post from you …. you are going though the senses … tis lovely poems …
Tis ok you have been away – can’t wait to read your post..but I have a routine… answer all comments then go and read then put my comments (slightly anal I know) but argghh. I was going through a senses phase, but I stopped short of taste and smell..they were a tad tricky for me. 🙂 xx
