Tone Deaf

TONE DEAF


Blind men searching for a silent sound
amid the cacophonic ruins
of solitude’s deafness.

Linda, always fun responding to the challenge of another contest. It keeps the muse from resting on its laurels.....that is .... if the muse has laurels...

Nette, thanks for your support. solitude always puts me in mind of the line from that song that said "Hell-o darkness my old friend, I've come to walk with you again."
