SHE SANG


      She sang to me
      It was a quiet song
      The words
      The thoughts
      The music in her voice
      Her lips moved
      My inner self coming to the surface

      She sang to me
      I had found peace in her song
      The Earth moved with her words
      My thoughts became focused
      The air vibrated with her voice
      I saw her lips and else was mute
      I felt raw opened by her

      She sang to me
      All anger left
      Her words stopped all movement
      Only she existed
      The wind was still
      Her mouth opened so slightly
      I couldn't move
