what was that sound--By Thomas Canull--United States

what was that sound

hearing the voice of an angel
wondering " surely she was
calling me home?"
for my feelings left with the
sound of her sweet voice
and life has suddenly become surreal.
as the ties that bind
have all been cut
there is naught left
but the shadow of my soul.
perhaps tomorrow
will have the answer
to my dilemma.

Thomas Canull, in his early seventies, is a man of modest means who since his retirement has become a 'Haikuist  of note' with several of his poems being published in the Japanese on line media Asahi Shimbun.

  1. Dear Thomas,
    I feel a certain tension in this poem that makes me think about the meaning of life and where I'm headed and how I will arrive. I especially like the line that includes, "the sound of her sweet voice."
    Blessings and thank you,
    Michael

    Listening to the voice of an angel who was around

    Happiness is yours if you stay or are heaven bound
