He taught me to sing without using my voice.
He said to me ................ LISTEN
And I heard the air whisper

He  then called to me
He said ................ COME TO ME
My thoughts ran to him till my mind was empty

His shadow stood over me and I felt him on my skin
He was in me but he wasn't physically with me
His scent caressed my naked body yet I was fully clothed

My body rose from the ground defying gravity
I couldn't breathe but strangely I was not suffocating
He kissed me deeply but he had no lips

He held me tightly yet he had no limbs
He was a light summer rain without the rain drops
He was the sun that released no heat

He told me to MOVE
But my body was tied down and bound
I didn't struggle
I was in a strange way free
He said to me ............ FEEL
I had no senses

He told me to SING
I opened my mouth and no sound came out
My heart beat became my voice
My  hearts melody pierced the noise

He taught me to sing
He taught me to sing without using my voice!
He taught me to sing
He taught me to sing

— The End —
