There is a rhythm to life

Which never really ends but

Changes fluidly.

It brings forth from its energy

New ways of singing

New combinations of notes and 

Patterns of beats

Which offer ceaseless comfort

But I

I am hard of hearing.

My past has plugged my ears

and pushed my heart to irregular beating

So I never really hear what life is trying to say.

A very old piece that is near and dear to my heart. Speaks on my PTSD and depression.
