Poem of the week: From Ear to Ear
From Ear to Ear by Ashlin Veltri
Crunchy grass below my feet
Yellow and scorched from the summer heat.
The silent sound of my favorite song
A flowing connection
From ear to ear I can hear everything
And nothing Empty dancing
My feet touching the ground
Beat to beat
A flowing connection
Traveling through the wind,
The trees are dancing with me.
I can be myself with you.
Without you the trees just move with the wind
The connection is lost.
I see everyone’s eyes
And I hear their stares.
The flowing connection breaks
And I become present.
And to you, I give this ode.
A reminder that without you my mind is never at peace
You give me quiet freedom.
