Butterfly Box

Butterfly box In your throat a box of sound To your human being bound Take a breath and spark a chord So your beings’ needs emplored Of a mind filled with thought Lips are a net with which they’re caught Resonating in space with boundless meaning What are senses perceiving, without speaking? In a mindless jabber, remember this thing Like wind formed from a butterflies wing The box can make one laugh and sing Or hurt and death it can also bring. When a mind, a heart and soul combined True words to your spirit you will find In your throat lay a butterfly box Filled with life, and sings in flocks.

You are so wise in showing us the various things we can do with our voice. "The box can make one laugh and sing Or hurt and death it can also bring." I am thinking you mean actual voice and written voice.
