The Lightness of Her Words

Softly, she sat at the window in her office
Softly, the light from her keyboard and monitor lit the room
Softly, she hummed along to the tune playing in her headphones
Softly, she tapped and typed words that flowed from her fingers
gently, she touched her face where once she was touched
gently, a tear streamed down her face onto her finger
gently, she wept as her body shrugged in silence
gently, she turned the volume up on the song
Crescendo, tears, music soars,
breathing deep
she typed on
her words, filling the page
her words, filling her heart
her words, her heartbeat, her tears
the sound of the song
the sound of her breath
the sound
and her words
were all that was left, when the song glided
softly
gently
to an end
breath
sigh
period.
Return
