Listen

In every house, the sounds are different. This one: The tick-tock of the kitchen clock, the low hums of the refrigerator and the fan on my computer, the click of the coffee pot cooling down. At certain times of day, kids shouting to one another from their bicycles on the way home from school. Just enough sound to make the quiet peaceful rather than deafening.

When the rain lifts, and there is song
in the outside world, and every shard of color
tugs at your heart
come play, come play, come watch and listen.
