Does the forest vibrate?

     Deer’s breathe creating light reflecting fog clouds,

           Sighs from the field rabbit as an owl glides silently overhead.

Why do we vibrate?

     The push and pull of demanding workplaces,

          Creating accelerating pulses and throbbing veins.

What do we hear?

      The sound of our body, aching and complaining

          As we slowly, physically disintegrate.

Being very quiet, do you recognize the loss?

     A breathless monotone, not wavering,

          Fading into the absolute quiet.

Then, and only then, what do you hear?

     The sound of nothing.

          The yearning of a soul seeking redemption, hope and forgiveness.
