Reconnecting

Spoken words are as cryptic
as Chinese restaurant menus.
Combo fifteen please
hold the rice and cashews.

Music is music, so I thought
belting those hymns with enormous
volume, lest God be disappointed
and walk out on the performance. 

Silence, a useless treasure
when trying to reconnect.
with friends, it’s always easy
as nothing, is written in cement.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

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." Be blessed."
