Days and the Sound

Days and the
sound of people in a cafeteria

Days and the
sound of blurred faces in the background

Days and the
sound of forks and spoons clicking and clattering until one falls

Days and the
sound of all eyes turning to watch someone lift a spoon off the floor

Days and the
sound of laughter over the pulsing positive energy

Days and the
sound of one voice asking the other, is this seat taken?

Days and the
sound of one voice looking away, the room of silent synergy

Days and the
sound of sitting down anyway, while the other sits alone

Days and the
sound of one hand reaching out, blurred motion, blurred vision, trembling hands, who are you?

Days and the
sound of one voice lifting to say thank you, while the other rises from a distant place with a comforting sigh, who are you?

Days and the
sound of memories made, in a moment where dreams feel true
