One Voice Only

There is only one voice that I know, even when my own escapes me.

  This voice rings through

whether shouts or sighs,

every syllable is beautiful, a symphony in concert.

 

There is only one voice, that can awaken this field of undying roses.

one voice that feeds me

   like the new dawn's

nourishing rays, feed all the world with radiance.

 

One voice that makes my pulse race, the only voice that thrills me

    one voice that rings true

   whether longing or scorn,

it soothes me through my slumbers, and awakens me at dawn.

 

This voice has only one name:

Love.

Love

the voice I trust even when its lying.

Love

the only voice I trust

because it trusts me

to carry it's flame.

I trust only

Love

 

Deceptions await all around us

but I sense love preternaturally,

I don't need my other senses.

Love

Trust only in love

It will always sustain us

 

Only Love.
