Background Noise


It’s so persistent;

you want it to end!
But some can become
unaware of the blare
as their minds transcend
the sounds that surround them
each moment they live.
What would you give
to be free
of the noise that annoys
in order to be
at peace?

Does the background noise
of life ever cease?

What if I said
that it’s all in your head — 
that what you perceive
as the sounds you receive
are chosen by YOU?
They’re simply a clue
as to where ego lies.
In the space
behind your eyes
is the place
to reside
and where brilliance can hide.

Then the background noise
no longer annoys.

What’s now insistent
results through a choice.
The tones and the groans
will appear to the ear
as your Spirit’s voice.
Its fire will inspire so
your ego can act,
but now, it’s backed
by your Soul.
As you soar through the door
that leads to your goal,
you sigh….

To this background score,
you’re able to fly!
