Voice Gets Extra Mileage

When we love,
our voices are soft,
the more we love,
the softer our voices become,
and there comes a time
when we don’t
even need to whisper,
because our eyes take over
the role of communication,
as our hearts grow closer,
closer and closer…

When the distance
between two hearts increases,
we need our voices again,
and the voices grow shrill,
shriller and shriller,
as the distance increases,
and there comes a time
when we start shouting
and yelling at each other
at the top of our voices,
while the other person is
right next to us…

The real distance
is not the physical one,
but between two hearts,
and the loudness of the voice
is directly proportional
to this distance, and the anger,
that causes the distance,
just to be audible to each other…

Let’s ensure that
mouth doesn’t get worked up unnecessarily,
let it do its job of ingesting food
more sincerely,
and let the heart do its job
of pumping blood more leisurely,
so that life can get extra mileage
in terms of miles
of smiles per hour…
