Can you hear what I see?
Can you see what I hear?
Poem about my deafness and what I hear… and what I see.
|
I tried to hear things around me, |
|
People chatting… |
|
Music blaring… |
|
Pool ball games clacking…. |
|
Not a sound… not a sound…. |
|
Just the sounds of silence. |
|
I know there is nothing that can disturb my deep inner most thoughts. |
|
Only the imagination of silent sounds. |
|
So wild…. |
|
So high… |
|
So steadily… |
|
Nothing can describe the sounds in my mind. |
|
Only the silent dreams can say. |
|
Music you have never heard. |
|
No bass… |
|
No drums… |
|
No mistake… |
|
Just the sounds of silence. |
|
Closing my eyes to visualize the making of a single tune, |
|
From a dew dripping off a rose’s petal into the pond. |
|
A tune that has never been heard before… As the dew breaks the stillness in the water… Like the rings of echos visualizes the sounds of echos through my ears… |
|
So eerie but peaceful that it’s |
|
So powerful… |
|
Sounds of silence… |
|
Sounds of silence… |
|
As I seek in their eyes when we communicate… All I hear are the silent cries from their souls wanting their own peace, |
|
Silent cries from the beating heart fighting the pain from its destruction that death makes it the final call to take one away from life. |
|
As I search into your eyes, |
|
it’s mostly blackness and empty… or lost like I am in my sounds of silence. |
|
Only if you can realize that I see more than you can hear. |
|
The silent cries that I can see can not be hidden from my eyes. |
|
Sounds of silence… |
Can you see what I hear….
|
Sounds of silence. Can you hear what I see… |
|
Sounds of silence. |
