The Air is Alive

The air is alive
Tonight.
Can you feel it?
I know that you can, dear.
The air is alive
It pulses, a relentless dance.
Flows through the living blood
Shifts in the changing tide.
The air is alive
Tonight.
Close your eyes and truly listen
Listen.
Hear the birds call, hear the air flow, hear your
heartbeat.
My heartbeat.
Hear the pain of your neighbor.
Listen as the teardrops fall, silent, unnoticed to the
hot earth.
Can you hear it?
I know that you can, dear.
More importantly,
Will you change it?
