Voice

I can hear
Your voice
Calling me home

And I
So
Deeply
Want to go

Not a single
No
In any
Muscle
Or bone

Ohhh speak to me
Words of
Kindness and grace
Speak to me
Let every
Sound
Place
A stone
In my path
To home

Just bask in the
Sound
Of your
Velvet silk
Voice
Just follow
Such a
Merciful
Simple
Choice

Sound
Turns to sight
Bass
Makes
A cozy bed
Comfort in the
Night
Treble
Lets in
The sun’s
Soft
Light
Laughter
In its full
Delight
Sings
All of the walls
Into delicious
Colorful
Life
Full, hearty grin
As your whisper
Brings in
Sweet summer’s
Mischievous wind

Home
Home
Home
So soft
And so warm
Home
Home
Home
Safety
Taken form

Eventually
Your voice
Fades
Away
But I am
Here
To stay
And after this nap
Bountiful rest
I will rise
Tend to my home
My refuge
My nest
Make my very best
Soup
Keep it warm
For you

Though you roam
Through the wilderness
Now
I know
You will return
Somehow
Some day
I know
Our hearts are
Connected
In a way
Beyond space
And time
And I know
This love
Is forever
Mine
