Voices Of My Heart

There are hundreds of different voices in my heart. It can be soft. It can shout. It can scream. It can whisper. It can rip, tear, and with one scream darken many lives.
You hear it roaring through me like thunder as the angry voice in my heart murmurs for your understanding. Then, there is this subtle force that only you can bring, to set the hearty-fire to dancing.
There are times when this voice comes from the deepest crevice of my heart in the frigid depths of anger. Most often this is the voice of late daybreak, in the half-light that is neither day nor night. And yet, your force that barely trembles me and creeps around corners, could hold back the coming day.
You listen and you sense, waiting for its blow to strike, then the day brightens in the east, and you know the wind has relaxed even as the stars from which it came, grow dim. Alas! Another bright day has come to reckon with and another day to hope and another day to love.
What a beautiful post. Your wife is not only beautiful, but talented too.
@Becky—Thanks. She is very talented. She is also my muse.
This is beautiful.
Hmmm… a guest post by a spouse. Wonder if I can get my husband to do this over on my blog.
It’s poetic verse. I really enjoyed the rhythm of the piece. It reminded me of last year when I was writing a lot of poetry.
My favorite part was…
“You hear it roaring through me like thunder as the angry voice in my heart murmurs for your understanding.”
I sometimes feel the same way. Great post! The both of you make a great writing team.
Omigosh - that was beautiful. Breathtaking… you two share a wonderful love together!
excellent post! I read it with no judgement.
Simply beautiful!
hmm.. she is homesick..
Beautiful piece of prose. So nice to read something different and unexpected. A talented woman, your wife.
