The Color of Song (Inspired by Sarah Brightman)

Such soothing colors of sound and light…
your voice washing over me
like a cool balm
a tranquilizing rhythm
filling me with peace and pleasure
joy unknown

Pure, sweet bell-like tones
soaring to the heights of the heavens
showing me what God is
allowing sight into the distance
smooth flowing phrases
subtle increasing crescendos
opening a window
into my heart

It feels like love
your voice is love
comforting my spirit
a healing salve
intensifying the wounds
slowly draining them
of their poisonous shroud
bestowing light and love
opening and entering
a song to the weary
healing with continuous
melodious
colors of sound

My heart is melting into the warmth
the breath of life
singing me a new song
In Paradisum…
