He Hears Her
He hears her
he listens to her voice
in his phone voice message
made many days ago
he listens for her footsteps
lights up when he sees her
sits quietly as she passes by
smiling at him casually
she touches his arm
'take care and stay safe
you must take your medication
see you again next Wednesday'
he goes home
father grandfather husband
sits quietly to eat his salad
alone in a household of noises
he sits at the balcony
looking out into the city lights
as quiet as a tranquil evening
but he hears her
he listens to her voice
in his phone voice message
made many days ago
he listens for her footsteps
lights up when he sees her
sits quietly as she passes by
smiling at him casually
she touches his arm
'take care and stay safe
you must take your medication
see you again next Wednesday'
he goes home
father grandfather husband
sits quietly to eat his salad
alone in a household of noises
he sits at the balcony
looking out into the city lights
as quiet as a tranquil evening
but he hears her

I am in awe! I call this sheer perfection! Need I say more? You are amazing, Grace!

The emotions he must feeling, his heart and mind sending those vibes into the universe.
Nicely done.
Nicely done.

Hi Wally, thanks for reading and commenting 😊 yes, too true, it's sad but there's nothing he can do about it.
