10 Hours

I count the hours

as I welcome the pelt of rain

harmoniously thumping and splattering against the

melancholic chug-chug screech of the train

10 hours

of not being assaulted by your words

hours devoid of your loudness

yet my heart is screaming, banging, drumming

10 piercing hours

time does not escape your noise

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
