But You Do Not Hear

I scream, I yell in the blackness
But you don’t hear
I talk, I whisper in the quiet
But you don’t hear

Words get through disjointed
Mumbled incoherent
Like pixilating signals
Choppy, blurred and unfinished

You hear what you choose to hear
You pick that which requires no listening
I try to explain
But you don’t hear

Man and woman build together
Cohesive lives bind them
They speak, they listen
They feel and they understand and acknowledge

Open your ears to listen
Open your heart to hear
Open you eyes to see the future
Comprehend the abyss of loneliness

The path is clear for footfalls
No map is needed to navigate
One road leads to emptiness
The other toYin and Yang together

Open your mind or lose it forever

"Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" – Sir Winston Churchill
