to be deaf

[Tommy]

to not be able to listen to music
each subtle breathe a singer takes before verses I love this.
the sound of fingers sliding down strings
the blunt sound of a stick hitting drums

to not be able to hear nature
the sound of feet crunching crisp leaves in august
raindrops hitting a more structured source of liquid - a more structured source of liquid? Huh?
the sound of a rabbit?s tiny feet scrambling off -typo

to not be able to hear the ones you love most
your mother giving you her final words on her deathbed
your soulmate whispering into your ear right before you sleep try it w/o "into your ear."
your childs first words

if my life were to be in this mute trance,
and i knew how wonderful the world is
i might just stop living in it. I came up short here. I think you can give me more.

This subject matter is quite touching and I like the way you've illustrated your point by concentrating on the little things missed that mean oh so much (like capitalization ) Thanks for the read.
