    Talk then Listen

    I talk, words come out but you do not hear
    I hope, that you will hear me, someday
    you cry, wishing that I would listen
    why is this so hard?

    We speak words, in anger and resignation
    cut off like talking into a wall
    I try, I speak, maybe this time you will hear
    And so, it continues, talking and hoping

    Hoping that this time, this time,
    You will hear me
    As you talk, hoping that this time, if only
    I will hear you

    It is time to listen, for me
    I will try, this time, to hear
    When you are done,  Iwill be here
    Listening still.  Hoping.
    That now, you will hear.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
