SOUNDS

I know phones, piano

binks and bursts, and

barks of dogs and trains

in the distance,  but I

wish I could hear, “Sorry,

I forgot it was your life.

I was next to and I

missed most of it.”

Yet, I need to hear my

own soul saying, “I under-

stand.  We’re not God.

Get that. Grasp that. 
And if and when I do 
that, there is a chance 
for peace and the sound 
of the down deep, “Aha! God!"
