The sounds around us

 


Trees talk,

but our ears

are tuned to

another frequency.

Out of range,

we walk in forests,

yet miss all the chatter.

We miss the buzz

as the words quickly scatter,

like bees from a hive

seeking the sweet nectar of life.

 

Flowers too

will try to

converse with you,

only the air is so polluted

with the grind of life. It's all so loud,

yet we are blinded by bright lights,

deafened to sounds that fly by

as loudly as a cloud scraping the sky.

We miss the words

as they flitter out of view,

only seeing silence,

missing the truth

as it breaches the atmosphere

like a sharpened knife.

 

The air is filled

with so many languages,

spoken in ways

we can't even imagine.

It's hard to fathom

the way the scent of a colour

speaks its meaning.

We only see a shimmer,

and have a shivery feeling.

Each blade of grass

sings a chorus as we walk past.

They must think us ignorant,

as we don't even

take a glance as we pass.

 

Swirling colour fills the sky,

but our eyes only see a limited array,

only a small percentage

of the words they say.

We don't witness

all the warning signs

that they keep screaming about.

The hum is getting louder,

the words begging now…

Save us. Save us. Save us.

They shout,

but we just carry on

with our day,

oblivious to what

is coming our way.
