Have You Ever?

Have you, I wonder, ever given a try
to see with your ears and hear through your eyes?


Imagine the sound of a tear when you cry
or envision the tenderness of a soft lullaby.


Think of that which may be seen in a sigh
the same might be heard as you watch a kite fly.


Do you ever listen as thin clouds whisk by,
or visualize the music from a parade nearby?


You've probably never seen a battle war cry
nor ever heard a river run dry.


Ponder the sight of sounds way up high
then listen for lightning to flash in the sky.

Won't you, I ask, just give it a try
to see with your ears and hear through your eyes?
