Want to listen something?
Something, which matters
Not only to you
But also to me
And also to every individual
Then follow the below
No matter whether
You’re reading this on laptop
Or your phones
Just be calm
Stop any music, if you’re playing
Stop any other work
Just for 2 minutes
Give me that
Concentrate
Be still
And think of yourself
Your life
Your happiness
Your pain
Your failures
Your achievements
Let all these
Play in a slideshow
In your mind
Let it roll
Let it be remembered
Let it be there
In your minds
Forever
Remember to cherish
And cherish to remember
Be grateful to everyone
Be happy for everything
Be blessed by all
Spread the smiles
And the realization
That we’re humans
And it’s absolutely okay
To take sometime out
And let the slideshow run
Listen to the silence around you
Listen to the voices inside
Listen to the screams of your heart
Listen to the unhearable..
Smiles here & Smiles there 
The last four lines are the crux …somehow when I really need to sit back and listen to those otherwise unheard sounds / voices , there’s something that lures me back into the chaos and humdrum of life (reminds me of the horse who shook his harness bell in Frost’s poem) . Nice one this !

Good to know, what listening to the unheard voices does to you. Yes, mostly it takes us back to the chaos of the past and makes the present chaos seem timid, which is good 😉 Thank you for your appreciation 🙂
