THE HEART OF SOUND

Here

In the heart of sound

I am loathe to speak

To express

Listen

Understand

Here in the heart of sound

Where the deception

And distraction

Mean nothing

More than noise

Nothing

More than cacophony

Just more noise

No understanding

Hear

The heart of sound

Unadorned and inviolate

Pure and un-maligned

As honest

As truth can ever be

Subjective

Not necessarily

Interested in

Objectivity

Here

Inside the heart

Of sound where

I fail

To express

I listen filtering

Faltering

Unable to hear

Ambient noise

Disturbing

Disturbed

And deluded

Distrusted

And depressed

Dissonant

Dissidence

Here in the heart of sound

Where silence is 
Alien and the familiar

Is strange

Hence

I am loathe to speak

To express

Any truth or honesty

I listen
