I hear it now

i hear it now.

not a whisper

nor a shout

i hear it now.

the future

a call

distant

melancholy?

i can’t help

but wonder

how much am I leaving behind?

i hear it now.

it’s begun to hum

a promise

wrapped in fog

soft

uncertain

it stirs the air

something that hasn’t arrived

and already feels

like a loss

i can’t grasp it

but still i feel it

the weight of all that’s ended

but what’s to come?

a thread unraveling

a door half open

an unanswered question

i step forward

i hear it now.

and let the silence carry me in

    with curiosity

    too loud

    overbearing

    asking too much
