SOUNDS

Sounds of joy

Sounds of children playing with toys

Sounds of work

Sounds of pain and hurt

Sounds of lovers together

In a loving embrace forever

Sounds of family and friends

Together again

Sounds of a church choir

Singing higher and higher

Sounds of the unforgiven liar

Always questioned never asked

Sounds of the past

Of friendships that will never last

Sounds of the city

People moving people who are busy

Sounds of laughter

Sounds of pain

Sounds that someone will never hear again
