by Quynh P Nguyen
In the dark
I grasp
to hear the soul song
That makes my heart yearn
For the love that
For so long
Eluded me
As someone deserving
or capable of
Preserving
A tune of the Heart
So I spiraled
Through the world
of sensations
and worshiped
ideas and forms
of how-tos
and should haves
While saddening
as my songs grew quieter
Although I searched
For perfect pitch
In Another
I only found
Imperfect yet
Compelling notes
Of others like me
Crying to be met
To be heard
To know that
Resonance of Deep Soul
That can hear
Songs of other souls
So I sank to the Earth
And laid my body down
And I could hear
Faint songs
Emanating from there
Songs of other souls
With their ears on the Earth
And through hearing their songs
I could suddenly hear my song
It came from my heart
