i was surprised by your call
i rejoiced when i heard your voice
for i left you minutes before–
you were tired
i was weary
we kissed and parted
when the phone rang
i was near the driveway
the ringing worked its way
through a forced focus on driving and tear filled eyes
but
i rejoiced when i heard your voice
and i knew the assistants, nurses, and doctors would watch over you during the night
until i returned to gaze into your beautiful blue eyes and hear the joyful sound of your voice
