One Voice

Just one voice upon the wind
The trees they sway the leaves they spin
Just one man in one brief vapor
Breathing thoughts that form within

Just one voice among so many
Casting forth my latest spin
Sharing wisdom for a penny
Hoping to be heard again

Just one voice above the roar
Trying hard to reconnect
Stand and knock at reason’s door
Seeking truth to recollect

Just one voice then I’ll be quiet
The wind will still the leaves will fall
Not too sure one soul will buy it
Not sure it will count at all

Just one voice- just one choice
Speak or ever hold your peace
Breathing soft the winds rejoice
Till the falling leaves all cease
