Muted WordsA Poem by Joyce S. GreeneA poem about waiting for the phone to ring . . .I wait, listening for so long to hear you sing me your love song. I dream of sweet, soft melodies in mists of cherished memories while I hear my phone not ringing and a longed for voice not singing. Whispers not heard in the silence are my mentors in your absence. The music of my heart's soft beat in echoes often does repeat the sounds of loving words once said, the cries of passion from our bed. In syllables of muted words I catch the notes of joyous birds. At the ends of unsaid phrases I hear hymns that sing love's praises and with pauses in expression I compose my own translation. But when my heart begins to sob, its beat becoming just a throb my doubts begin to sing alone my sadness cries without a tone. Should I wait for you forever, Will we sing once more together?
