Headphones.
Want to block outside sounds.
Only want to hear what I want to hear.
Silence.
Crunching of hiking boots
Random chirping
Wind
Breaths in time with footsteps.
Silence.
No need for headphones,
When the only sounds to hear
Are the ones you want to hear.
And sometimes there are no sounds
At all.
You can feel your lungs suck in and push out air,
Can feel your heartbeat,
Feel before hear.
Natural.
Peaceful.
Why do we have to travel so far
To find it.
And then lose it
When someone comes down the path
And doesn’t understand
Why we are there.
Silence
Such a precious commodity.
Not readily available
And it never lasts.
Silence,
A renewable source of energy.
Just need to seek it out
And hold onto it for
As long as you can.
