Viaje de una hora

Listen to silence

Feel the energy of earth

One would be amazed 

Hey there. I've decided to start with a haiku i came up with about listening to the earth. Listening to the silence and feeling the crowd of emptiness all around.
I've always went everywhere with music in my ears and whenever i forget my dearly beloved earpiece, it may seem like it was not going to be a good day. Yes we live in such a time when blocking our ears out with music is much more comforting than being around people (sad but true). I decided not to go far, just around my housing area and the things i came to find and see, made me a little ashamed to have lived here for twenty two years and not realize.

How some trees have been cut down and re-planted, how there are diferrent tinges of green to the grass at different areas

How little plants grow amongst the trees, and yes they have grown quite big and i have never noticed (and also the fact that today, the grass may be full of leaves and tomorrow all the leaves are gone. Never actually stopped to see the difference and the people who work to keep our grass green - aprt for that little glass bottle hah)

How the bricks at the nearby drainages are actually not of the same color (i don't even know when it was changed) lack of attention to particular details and i call myself an artist hah

Look, more little plants growing on trees and they have grown quite big actually. You can hear the sound of animals rustling the trees atop, sound of little insects in the ground maybe crickets maybe some other insect I don't know (I never could hear that when I was with my music all the time so it was quite a discovery)

I took a different route than the one I always took when walking home and saw these little pink flowers growing on the fences of the badminton court. There were quite a lot of it. And it has been quite some time since I last played badminton. That explains much hah

They even did plant pruning and the area seems a bit more spacious but i never took the time to look up and see all that

See? I can see the roads outside (the area used to be blocked with huge trees)

The leaves that accumulated on the roofs and there was actually a little bird that was on it but i wasn't fast enough 

 Little things which are actually everyday norm, I should have seen and heard. And at random times during the hour, there would be drops of water falling onto my skin and hijab but nope it was not raining. You could even hear babies crying from any area of the estate and cats purring and things being dropped from high floors to the ground (i got confused with purring cats and crying babies, they sound almost the same to me hah)

Definitely made me realize that yes! I can live without my earpiece and sometimes the loud silence brings so much content that I should start to appreciate it more.

So let me close of with another haiku after the the viaje de una hora-

No need for music

Can't one find comfort in still

And not lose herself?
