Listen Closely

Sound has altered.

Within or without the house

is eerie silence,

weird but not unpleasant.

The very tenor of our beings is changing

which is, or may be,

the point:

a shift.

 

Listen closely in this new silence.

Add your voice to it if you are so moved.

Being alone now

you will hear yourself as never before,

no longer muffled by the voices of others.

And not just those voices but the endless cacophony

of what used to be daily life.

Alone now, lift your voice into the emptiness

to discover the ultimate truth:

Nobody is alone.

Allow this to penetrate your lonely soul.
