Yet softly spoken
Softly, softly, your voice
on the telephone
Sweetly whispering your
longings, yearnings
Quietly telling me about
the day... your life
Small things, irritating events
Your life suddenly before me
in all its vivid dissection
But quietly, so quietly you
tell me
It enters my very soul
like a smooth sheet
of ocean water
Moving smoothly,
determined, up the fine sandy beach
Into my very heart,
it penetrates, deeply
Your pain, your passions,
your poetry, I submit
It submerges me in the
wealth, the complexity
of your being, ecstasy
Quietly, so quietly, speaking,
your messages enter
my eternity
Ever changed by your imagery,
your experiences
Yet, softly spoken
