Answer, came there none!

She plucked up Courage
and Spoke!
Words tumbled into the Silence.

She spoke Again
Did anyone Hear?
Did anyone Listen?

Answer came there?
None!

She plucked up Courage
and Wrote.
Words tumbled onto the page
Sent out into the ether.

She Wrote Again.
Her words were read.
Did anyone Listen?

Answer came there?
None!

Depressives make good listeners;
but when she spoke…

answer came there none.

So I Retreat
garnering Words in my Mind.

Mind whimpers
‘Speak to Me
and I Shall Listen
Ssspeak to Me
I Shall Reply.
Talk to Me
I am here’.
