Voice

Is there truth
in my poet's voice?
Words that resonate
Who I am.

Does my poet choose
out of my tattered heart?
Words of love,
pounding with passion.

Where is the seeker
in prayers from my soul?
Words of awakening,
unveil the mystery.

Can I find freedom
before it flees?
Words without constraint,
fresh from my dreams.

Who will want to share
my abundant joy?
Words like a balm,
heal an open wound.

Must they betray me
to clothe my naked mind?
Words so raw and unrefined,
take me on a wild ride.

Will my poet's voice
be radically sincere?
Words that illuminate,
Who I am
