Are You Listening?

Are you listening?

If you are simply still, you can hear it...

the truth in the nonsensical words I speak,

emboldened with true intentions and pipe dreams.

Can you hear me?

For all my ramblings and convictions,

can you embrace the fragility of what I never reveal?

Are you aware of me?

Even when I am not there, when I whisper into the dark,

connecting our spirits with a deep magic that even time could not restrain.

Do you know?

For all your worldly education and gleaming brilliance,

do you remain ignorant of this magnitude, simply because it's easier?

My voice echoes off these lonely walls painted sunshine yellow,

and I wonder...for all the ways in which I've spoken...

Are you listening?
