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…

You’ve captured the power(s) that love holds sway of those fortunate to experience its wonders.

Rebecca Braun
says:Love comes in many different forms, inspiring those feelings through music, art, poetry, as well as personal relationships. Our heart doesn’t know the difference. And, that is perhaps, a good thing. 🙂 Thank you for your comments, Ray. 🙂
