The sounds of life (Vol 2 No 72)

There’s sacredness in sounds of life,

Sounds that communicate;

When nature’s voice recites her tale,

When humans celebrate.

Attend to all the sounds of life

Both silent and those heard;

Some laughter or a silent cry,

Both shout and whispered word.

The sounds of life express our pain,

Anxiety, relief;

They play the song of future hopes,

But some reveal our grief.

Rejoicing sounds invite a smile;

Change darkness into light;

These sounds remind us that the day

Will always conquer night.

The sounds of life are holy sounds,

The spirit’s melody;

When we respond in gentle tones

We join the rhapsody.
