It’s about a person who is hearing sound for the first time. His perspective about his surroundings and the minutest sound that he hears.
Music
That amazing feeling
when you first hear a sound
it’s like you’re almost astound
a feeling so rare and yet so deep
it feels as if someone has
opened the gates and
left your chest bare
it’s overwhelming and overflowing.
The whole existence was
just a mystery
I got it and it became a history
You look around
and feel the rush
the gush left you delighted.
You turn your head around
the branches of tree
clicks together and something trots
a fresh wave strikes you
and it buzzes in your ear.
Somewhere far an engine
roars to life
the electric lines above the head are
not beings but electricity runs through them
as if the liveliness is there.
Somewhere close to the horizons
I hear the joyous sound
of laughter, cheer and hoots
for it’s evening and the children
are free to play around.
I hear shifting and shuffling
from households
for it’s the time
old eyes get to spend
with their working and busy kids.
Somewhere a branch snaps
a leaf tweaks
seems like squirrels are playing
again hide and seek.
I hear beats of the drum
from the floors below
now I understand
causes of vibrations
happening from so long.
I hear somewhere
a lady singing
with an instrument playing
Oh! Such a sweet sound
I’ve been missing
Standing in the kitchen
I hear the cackling of fire
as if it’s burning with joy
and dancing with the flow.
I play with stethoscope
and hear my own heartbeat
It feels something resides
In me and I am not a single entity.
I sit nearby the fountain
the sound of splashing
as if the water is fighting
is an amusing trickery.
I walk the lane down the street
I see a woman scrubbing the floor
the noise is a bit irritating and then
I knew why my brother got mad when
mother use the scrub on the floor.
I hear the chirping somewhere
as if the birds are making the calls
letting the flock know
this is time to fly back home.
A tinkling sound
embellishing the atmosphere
comes and fades away.
Are women source of these?
I hear the whistling sound
it comes from an alley
down the road
somebody is moulding Iron
with another iron bar
In response to which Iron
screams at its loudest
may be mourning its loss of shape.
I feel a fly on my thumb nail
it made its regular gesture
by rubbing hands
but accompanied
by a repetitive tone.
Like a vagabond I run folks
as far as my legs take me
only to sense the
completeness
of everything.
