Did you ever notice, Sweet Lu, how we can see lightning flash
with our eyes still closed?
How sometimes we hear no thunder after the lightning?
Oh, I'm sorry, Lu,
I forgot that you might not be able to hear the thunder
at all-
the vet told us you're losing your hearing.
To be deaf, such a loss in May.
No morning doves singing.
No frogs croaking.
No gentle rain falling.
Knowing you, Lu, maybe you've discovered new sounds.
Can you now hear trees bud?
Grass grow?
Perhaps you hear the
heartbeat of God.
