11. In the Sound: A Poem

 



 

In the power of the sound

that moved through my soul

and made me aware of more

than this present state, but

touched depths inside me that

I did not know existed

 

In the power of the sound

that carried us away into dreams

and made us aware of more beauty

than this present condition, but

touched fire into our souls

we did not know existed

 

In the power of the sound

that was more than music

and made us aware of more power

than our hearts could contain alone

touched with glory, and longing

we did not know existed

 

In the power of the sound

that echoes to us from our dreams

whispering back to us our commission,

more than just ‘give it away, give it away..’

touched with experience, and perseverance

we now know this exists alive inside of us
