#Can You Hear Me
Can You Hear Me
Somewhere, I have lost
The words I had gathered,
To build a song for you.
I had put them
In an oval vase,
Rubicand, with flowers
Painted all over.
I never saw the crack.
And so I have been groveling
On the star lit floor,
Scouring its surface
With my bare nails.
But tell me something :
When has starlight
Been enough to search
For all that we seek ?
There is no pain really,
When we lose words :
All that we feel is
A strange emptiness :
A void, a barreness
That claws its way, insidiously
Into the everyday things we do –
We barely notice it.
But we sigh often –
Maybe a few million times.
The way I am doing right now.
Can you hear me?
Or has the vacuum spilt over
To swallow the sounds I make ?
Or perhaps you do not understand
Why words are important.
Yet another wisp of a sigh,
Tears itself away from
Its weary womb
And floats away listlessly.
I whisper to the emptiness,
The only truth I know :
When I find the love I lost,
You will hear my words too.
Omg! Deep and poignant JP💚💚💚💚💚
Love it love it😍😍
Thank you so much 💚
Oh my God.. I just noticed.. I had kept separate stanzas but here all the stanzas seem to have merged

‘There is no pain really, when we lose words’
This piece had so many layers mam, each exquisite! So much depth!
Wow
Poignant, yes one is really at loss for words
So profound, so beautiful. I am definite now that this is what connoisseurs mean when they quote ‘work of art.’
Poignant as always! 💚💚
Profound!
reflective writing .. lovely Jaya ..
Thanks so much 💚
