THIS SOUNDS TOO SWEET FOR MY EARS

I met a small ringing sound
trying to cross a difficult road
into me and my stolid solitude.

I was promised a grey earth
and a primordial sky without black
or white or anything in between.

I replied in no small terms.
I rang my life many a time.

I sat silent then and thought -
This sounds too sweet for my ears.

I let go of it and forgot
about it and me being friends
