Little Voice

Even when I am alone in my room,
it is as if there is so much around that is next to me, alive and flowing together.

It is not the world that can only be seen with one's eyes
upon becoming aware of a faint presence, that which cannot be seen,
I strain to hear that little voice.

It is something I am certain exists within me
carving out a soft rhythm together.
