How The Voices Sing (for deverse; Under The Influence of Music)




Faith don't fail me now
I know how the voices sing.

I feel so alone
like a frightened child
when the winds howl
seeking solace in the dance
of words.


How their truth
rings so loud
in the silence
of all I have known.

    quite emotive....esp that middle stanza...
    the howl and the silence...and the words
    somewhere in between....

    I think music grows a lot out of darkness and pain.. Maybe it's the true purpose of the songs.

    i truly believe there is dance and song in words..

    as before i dance and sing again..

    there are words that seed the dance of song...

    now..

    so free expressed in me...

    The dream of REAL LIFE.. can be found in words...

    And the REAL LIFE OF WORDS...

    CAN BE found in dreams..

    OF real LIFE COME TRUE!..:)

    AS DREAM!

    Seeking solace in the dance of words really makes sense to me.

    Summoning strength, a sense of shelter and comfort , and empowerment from, not only the music, but the words within it. Beautiful piece, Lisa.
