I Have a Voice

Quietly I wait
my heart weighted by stones
For you to notice.
I am here.

Quietly I wait
my thoughts...my words drowning in
the flood of your voice.

Quietly I wait
For a chance to come my way
And with it the hope...
that just for a moment
I will not be the listener...
But the one listened to.

I have a voice...
but it will not be heard
you've dammed your flood and left.
My thoughts...my words
of so little value to you.

I had a voice...
waiting to be heard.

Great Golden Orb

I watched you...
Great Golden Orb
Bursting forth into the morning
Leaping out of the fire that is the sky.

I watched you...
Great Golden Orb
As the day grew strong
And the flames of the morning
Were drowned in the blue of the sky.

I watched you...
Great Golden Orb
In your twilight
Your strength failing
Your life light waning.

I watched you...
Great Golden Orb
Helpless...as you fell
Consumed whole
By the flames that gave you birth.
