Can you not hear
The pulsating resonance of my beats
Conjuring an ever expanding weave
Of crescendos and decrescendos
Calling out to you
In the only way, I can
Not with mundane words
But with my feelings
Throbbing through my veins
Imploring you repeatedly
To be mine
And only mine
Can you not hear

Can you not hear
What the mountains can hear
From their lofty heights
Through the susurrations of the icy breeze
What the oceans can hear from their depths
Through the music of their ebbs and tides
What the trees of the forests can hear
From the whispers of the gentle zephyr
What the the stars from afar can hear
In the midst of their cosmic dance
Can you not hear my calling
Can you not hear…..
