The Listeners

Listener I am merely the sitter at the gurgling creek
I am merely the whispering shadow at your feet
I am merely the chill in your spin when you shutter
I am merely a star among many others
I am merely the keeper of all your screams
I am merely a dreamer passing dreams
but I am more then merely the ear you can not see...I am me
the sitter listening to the gurgling creek hearing you as you sleep...

Shadows of my past take steady steps toward me. My life is their own and my beat is as well. Time may be against me but life and death are not. I will sit at this gurgling creek and listen for I am the listener
