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
