He

He stands, talking
calm, self assured
not brash. Reassuring
in his stance, humour
anecdotes.

Everyone is taking notes
as he speaks
(whether they know it or not).
He's not a stranger to the
microphone.
(They are seasoned lovers
bringing out the best in each other).
Syllables boom
a resonance in
the ambience

He's leaving
(What fills
the hole left of)
the quiet speaker
whose voice was loudest

  3. The gift of the orator -- it is the silent ones (the writers, us) who create the words he speaks so eloquently!
