Hearing

A friend visited me the other day,
Quite unannounced.
Whilst we had been in touch,
I'd forgotten the sound of his voice.
We spoke,
I listened,
I questioned
And I was surprised by his answers.
I am now puzzling myself,
Not sure about what this means.

Hearing is to challenge my cynicism.
Knowing is to journey far beyond.
Questioning may never find the answer
Living, may be walking blind.

My friend has left me
With the challenge of relearning,
Retracing steps,
Listening again,
Not ever knowing whether I hear
Or not.
