When you hold a shell to your ear.
It amplifies the blood flow from your heart.
We call it the sound of the sea.
Do we hear that sound from the womb?
There is one thing needed in here.
Without it the sound never starts.
What is it that we need to leave free?
Our ears for the sound of our hearts?
The silence of night in a room
Will always open our hearts.
The silence of souls left apart
Are speaking to hearts that can’t hear.
