Listening...

I wrote the description before I wrote the poem. I have no expectations on how it will turn out so cover your eyes in case of emergency.

I'm listening

For what, I don't know

But I am supposed to

Hear what is to be heard

What will that sound be

When it reaches

My ear

How can I know that sound

When I don't know

What it is

Please tell me!

I'm sitting here

In a silent roar waiting

Until I can hear

That sound that will set me free

And I am listening...

Love it! It leads me to be curious of if the speaker isn't speaking or if you're just not "wired" to hear what they are saying. It makes me ask if the speaker is female or if it's a professional conversation like from a boss who can't manage to get a point across. Very well written!
