I’m Listening

I’m Listening

By Paul McCann

When we are alone in the silence you can hear

all the sounds of life open up in your ear .

Some noises trespass and yet some others are good

Some are unwanted and rude others just intrude

But thoughts are at a distance separate from that  

but In your heart and soul you can control all at.

The screaming of others , the slamming of a door

heavy footsteps of people walking on the floor .

Dogs barking and police sirens out on the road  ,

Gunfire and a bomb somewhere that exploded .

The uninvited sounds that we don’t want to hear .   

The sound of fighting and crying there in your ear .

A knock on the door or a phone call coming through ,

I’m listening if you want someone to talk you .
