Shadowed Ears

Fri, 08/15/2014 - 14:07 -- issijo

Im talking but no one hears.
If they hear, then no one listens.
A shout into oblivion,
A noise into a black hole,
A voice with no receptor.
Talking, teaching, speaking can all seem to be pointless with noone to respect the effort and knowledge.
Pointless, yes-
But not meaningless.
Hidden in the corners,
Sheltered in the shadows,
Taking refuge in the darkness-
People secretly hearing.
No, not hearing, LISTENING.
Soaking like a sponge,
Clinging on to every word,
Turning something pointless into a meaningful message:
An amazing experience,
A hidden treasure,
A secret passage,
An irreplaceable haven.
