What if you couldn't hear? Again, inspired from "Loss" by RoaringMice - Please go read and rasie your awareness of the world around you. It's more complicated than you think.

Silence

No speech
No phrase
He strains to hear
The Cock's crow
Sweet song of the Lark
Joyous barks of the Dog
His lover's voice

Strained
Gone
Lost

That's right
He's of no ear
