Listen Closely to the Human- by: unknown forgotten

The sound of a sole person pacing about in a completely silent room
The set of every foot on the ground, one after the other
The sole of the shoe touching the ground
The squeak and stretch of the shoe as force is put upon it
The brush of the pant cloth rubbing together
and the movement of the legs deciding if that noise be made depending on step
The sound of breathing that is so often over looked
Each and every inhale, each and every exhale
The silence that abides in between
The arms swaying

Feel the action of introspection
Every muscle moves and they are there to be felt
The neck is holding up the head
The back is stiff in uprightness
The legs are tense, even when relaxed to support the entire human mass
The toes move endlessly, every step the flex and bend to balance the mass
Fingers twitch or lie still, depending on the conscious and unconscious signals sent from the brain
Feel every nerve end as the clothes embody your skin
Your shirt, your underwear, your socks
Feel your hair rest lightly upon your scalp!
It is always there touching you, yet we forget
The face expresses concern, sadness, glee, it's infinite!
And the heartbeat beat beat beat beat beat
The grumble of an empty stomach
The cracking of a worn joint
The human is a marvel
in silence pacing we disrupt the tranquility
The silence we disrupt is overlooked
