LISTEN

I hear the crunch of the dirt.

I hear the buzz of the bees.

I hear the pant of my breath.

I hear the flap of the bird's wings.

I hear the leaf fall.

I hear the ant crawl.

I hear my heart beat.

I hear my blood pump.

I hear my cells move.

I hear your heartbeat.

I hear your tears fall

And your cries of pain.

And your gasps for breath.

I hear it all.

I hear your heart stop.

The question is

Will I listen?
