"Listen"

Listen with an open mind,
Can you hear a sound?
Voices beyond the human kind.
The din, the chorus abound.

Listen intent to silent cries,
Echoing time and space.
A cacophony bubbles, never dies,
Drowned by the human race.

Listen true with open mind,
You'll hear more than a word.
Cries whispered, silence entwined,
Understanding gained when heard.

Listen intent to sound unknown.
Bubbling beyond your ear.
Drowned, in man's loud tone.
Such sound you may yet hear.
