The Song Within
It is the silent song
inside his head
inside his heart
inside his ear,
a song with pitch,
and timbre,
electrical currents
in melodious form
which guide him,
the song of experience
to which he listens,
regarding layers of living,
the deepest song
the buried song
which sings his life,
intones his decisions,
chants his perspectives,
soothes his wounds,
his losses,
the hushed song
only he can hear,
a song which resonates
when life
challenges his convictions
he will lend an ear,
to convince his mind
or open his heart
and heed the lyrics
beyond denial.
