A Practical Noise: Life's Backbone

Life's revelations and ups and downs - the sounds of living - a poem.

Children wailing and chugging, happy as can be;
Dogs snapping and lurching, so anxious with company;
And fans of the winning and losing sides,
Exulting or decimated from the outcome,
Cheering frantically or moaning with great displeasure -

The practicality and peace of our glorious days
Is further exposed
To the twisting roller coaster
Of our enlightening tongues,
And their inexplicable volunteering
Of joy and responses.

An earth of promise and passion
For all ages to behold,

And the truth of inspiring,
And sometimes, meteoric gains.
