Drowning Voice

With spoken words comes spoken thoughts and dreams

For the love some people give and receive comes soundless

It's without a single syllable that makes a darkened face radiate light

As the yearning chords in my throat die to alert the world

But without a voice, all it takes is a step

And another

And the raise of a hand to caress the torn souls with a faint glimmer in their eyes

Action takes hold of those around

The softest voice seems drowned in the world of hatred and war

However, the largest embrace materializes in that single step, that single strut, that single stride

To prove, prove the world that a meaningless sound, a meaningless thought in a vast world

It will hold strong if that voice resonates to the tips of your fingers

Your toes

The ends of your hair

You and me, live in a dying world
