Turn It On

Turn It On

Listen to the break

In the electrical current
Coming home
Settling between
What you cannot do
And what needs to be done.

Listen to your daughter struggle
With what she needs to do
And what she has to contend with today.

Listen to your memory rewind--
Remake what you've been through:

The mountains beyond pike's peak
Hidden by the grandeur
Of the earth's curve.

Listen to the radio
Trying so hard
To keep you in contact
With what's happening in
That larger world,
Beyond your grasp.

Keep your ears tuned
To the silence
When its available
Between
This and this and that.

Keep it turned on.

The sounds of silence?

Great read, Peter.

Synchronicity, I guess...I did dream of Paul Simon some time last night.

Thanks for visiting, Les,

Peter
