You cried,
you yelled.
I could not hear,
this morning I left for the mountains,
I did not hear a thing, a sound, a pin.
then from the cloud, a passenger of rage
shot down at me full speed,
piercing and roaring, with a message of its own.
I could not figure it out, i did not hear.
I stayed on my path
beneath that same old cloud
till another - but this time, a fist of sorrow
struck me right there on my cheek.
got me good too, it hurt,
still, I did not hear.
I started to run, up the hill,
escaping the cold was my safe, resort,
but as i ran the storm grew darker,
and the thickest rock let out
the loudest cry in all of Scotland.
My ears rang and my hair shot up,
I felt its rage land all over my body
as my face went red, like the raft within the rain’s own flames,
like fire from the earth’s core.
They've a million voices at once,
of the same pitch,
the same harsh yet soft rhythm of yours,
jarred, and you muffle
sonnets of hatred I thought you wrote,
deja vu.
till suddenly, the rain that trickled from my head
streaming down my eyes, and made a fountain
of your face before mine.
and then i knew it was you,
your cries at me, riverside thorns,
were not a curse, but warnings of love.
though cold and drowning, they were forgiving,
and for the first time,
I heard, completely.
And of that, I came running back home,
and fell at your knees,
and listened to your voice thread a thousand stories,
that bathed my blessed ears.
