I Heard a Sigh...

Submitted by Surgeo Church on January 15, 2008 - 12:47.

I heard a sigh in my opening line;
My heart beat was ticking like a time bomb.
I spoke my words unto the air,
And poise bled my coruscating thoughts.

Hundreds of ears heard my soul,
Spilled out like tumbling raindrops.
As silent as they were; my voice alone echoed the hall;
I felt the trembling excitement and hope.

But, oh astonishing audience,
Must I not think so much of thee?
