Listen to the stories

[anirban0303]

Listen to the stories
Men tell of last year
That sound of other places
Though they happened here
- Leonard Cohen

Listen to the doorbell
Listen to the knock
Listen to the memories
Of the ticking clock

Listen to the moments
That envelop us now
Listen to every question asked
Every why and how

Listen to the snowclad peaks
Listen to the sea
Listen to every word unsaid
Between you and me

Listen to the laughter loud
Listen to the smile
Listen to the whimper
As you walk a lonely mile


Listen to the thundercloud
Listen to the rain
Listen to the rainbow colours
Listen once again

Listen to the men who lived
Before the world was born
Listen to the men who’ll live
On every future morn

Listen to the beating heart
Listen to the cry
Listen to the teardrops
That fell but now are dry

Listen to the silence
Listen now and here
Listen to the voice within
Listen everywhere

Listen to the stories
That men will never tell
The stories of men you never knew
Who fought on, but fell.......
