Can You Hear What I Hear? Poem by Marites C. Cayetano

Can You Hear What I Hear?



Can you hear the cry
of the newborn baby
a cry of thirst
a cry of hunger
a cry of pain
his mother is dead
can you hear what I hear?

Can you hear the calling
of the desperate soul
calling for forgiveness
calling for reconcilliation
calling back for the love
that she once had
can you hear what I hear?

Can you hear the song
of the dead rose
the song that is written
only in the wind
the song that no one can sing
in the peak of their time
can you hear what I hear?

Can you hear what I hear?
I hear
.....my heart beating.
