Evoke The Silence

your voice evokes the silences of my soul to listen

to the heatbeat of the vast echos that pulse so loud

cast out are the nuances of time, they have no place

broken are the turgent idylls of an escapists thoughts

speak thus then, and I shall hear, with ears open wide

within the void, comes a sound, not heard by the foolish

too hard-hearted are they to hear, what is softly said

love casts its spell, and I am bewitched by its curse

this soul, once trounced and defeated, now comforted

be still then, my soul, listen, listen to the sounds of hope

desire the cadence of its tone and be at one with its life

harken to the inflection of its voice and be entranced



bedeviled or bewildered, twixt heaven and hell, I shall hear

say whatever is your pleasure, this soul, open, faintest not
