People everywhere are afraid,
Afraid to stop and just listen.
They fear the only thing they will hear
Is the silence.

If they forget the silence and just listen
They will hear;
The bird songs at the early hours of dawn,
The crashing of waves,
The whisper of secrets,
And so much more.

Silence occurs from egos,
Who only think if themselves.
Just listen and you will hear voices,
Other than your own.
