In Your Voice

I have sat in silence for so long
I feel the sound of my soul
I hear the beat of my heart
I can touch the thoughts
That cascade over the deafening quiet
In silence there is no place to turn
But into the skin that holds me to this place
In this pale flesh lies a stillness
A calm amidst the storm
I have sat in silence for so long
I welcome the ebb and flow of your words
The whispers of a long-forgotten memory
Wash over me –in your voice, in the sound
I am finally home
