    HEARING SOUNDS

    HEARING SOUNDS

     

    TODAY I WALK DOWN ROCK AND STONE ROADS

    WHERE TIME ALWAYS TAKES ITS TIME

    IN A COUNTRY CALLED BELIZE

    AS I WALK AND GLIDE AMONG THE ROCKS AND STONES

    EACH ROCK AND STONE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY

    WALK SLOWLY AND LISTEN

    AS YOU PASS EACH ROCK AND STONE

    EACH FROM DIFFERENT LIVES

    BUT LISTEN TO THOSE SOUNDS

    FROM A PEOPLE FROM LONG AGO

    THEY ARE SAYING SOMETHING

    LISTEN EACH AND EVERY STEP

    THEY ARE SAYING EVERYTHING IS GROWING

    LOOK TO THE MOUNTAINS

    THEN LOOK TO THE SKIES

    THEY ARE MOVING QUICKLY

    NOW PEOPLE MOVING QUICKLY

    PEOPLE LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE

    BUT NOT LISTENING, EACH AND EVERY STEP

    THE ROCKS AND THE STONES HAVE SOMETHING MORE TO SAY

    THESE PEOPLE HAVE A LONG HISTORY

    THEY HAVE MORE TO SAY

    THE PEOPLE HAVE SOME THING IN COMMON

    THESE ROCKS AND STONES ARE ANCESTERS TO EACH OTHER

    THEY SHARE THE LIFE AND DEATH

    NOW THE SKIES ARE CRYING

    NOW THE SKIES ARE SCREAMING, IN PAIN

    TELLING YOU TO LISTEN EACH AND EVERY STEP

    THE SKIES AND THE MOUNTAINS ALWAYS SEE US GROWING

    SO LISTEN EACH AND EVERY STEP

    SOMEDAY THE ROCKS AND STONES WAIT FOR YOU

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
