The Sound Of One

Truly hearing the beat inside

amid the thunder and chaos cymbals

is to know what is in your heart

be so sure and clear

about its throbbing timbre,

so aware of what makes it pound

and what causes it pain.

 

Then be able to stroll anywhere,

alone even it the middle of a throng,

but feel at peace within

because you have found

with complete harmony

of mind and heart.

 

It is the sound of one

a tone of truth

from one’s inner composer

that you consume

to accept as your melody

until you let it dominate

with its soothing serenade,

never willing to stop adding new notes

anywhere you can find them

for their make life a symphony,

pure, complete and fascinating.
