Have you ever heard the words
that speak deep into your soul?
Has their timbre ever changed you?
Has their meaning ever meant
everything?
Breathe in the air,
hold it in my lungs,
so briefly.
Let the soft kiss
of life
fill me from within.
Then, I exhale.
Body transpires carbon dioxide,
and on its way out
it moves thorough my larynx,
where my vocal cords hum
in intonation
and I introduce vibration
into my exhalation,
across my tongue,
which gives the tone a twist,
and then
on my lips,
every word a kiss.
I am speaking to you.
But I am doing more,
because every vibration
that I create
changes the world around me.
Like ripples in a pond,
they radiate out.
Can they harm?
Can they heal?
Yes. Both of those,
and more.
They can also make war,
and instill peace.
They can inspire,
or discourage,
but most of all
they can communicate my soul.
Digging into my subconscious,
trying to find words,
pure,
and from the source.
No taint of hesitation,
just pure communication
from me
to you.
Have you ever spoken the words
that exist in the eternal parts of you?
Do you know that this reality
was spoken into existence, too?
There was a first Word,
a first thought,
and that first vibration
still echoes
in us.
