The Rythm of Life

Can you hear,
The Rythm of life?
The song your shoes make,
Walking down the street.
Step,
Step,
Step,
Crunch.
Step,
Step,
Step,
Crunch.
Or the melody,
Of the sparrow's flight.
Flap, flap,
Swoop,
Flap.​
Flap, flap,
Swoop,
Flap.
How about,
The life-saving pattern,
Of a little mouse.
Skitter, skitter
Stop.
Look,
Skitter, skitter,
Stop. 
Look.
The most important to you,
The steady beat of your heart.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
On and,
On.
On
And on.
Can you feel,
The steady pulsing,
Beneath your feet?
The rhythm,
To which everybody dances.
We,
All have
Different beats and
Mel-
odys,
But the music's 
Quite the same.
Take out your earbuds,
Look up from your phone,
We are starting to forget,
That we aren't alone.
The birds and the frogs,
The bees and the dogs,
The bats and the cats,
And the bugs in the log.
Listen for a moment,
To the robin's gentle call,
Lend your ear,
To the cricket's chirp,
The pig's burp,
The frog's croak,
All different,
But all the same.
That is,
The Rythm of Life.
