A Tinnitus Ear

I hear a sound,
drum in my ear.
Of crystal droplets,
from streaming tears.
A distant murmur,
or a hissing sound.
A weeping mourner,
a heavy pound.

A sudden splash,
or a humming ring, 
when metals clash,
or glasses clink.
But the sound of words,
when they appear.
Will bring some joy,
to a tinnitus ear.

Hi Darlene, My ears have been ringing for a very long time. I sometimes forget the ringing, but it has never gone away. Thank you my friend. Saleh
