The Wordless Voice

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem:  The Wordless Voice
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan

I am 
the wordless
voice
that speaks
in the wind -

A white dove
that fly's free -

I am the flow
of the mighty rivers
that wed
to the sea -

You have witnessed me
roll with the waves
across the ocean -

You have seen 
the sunlight that
shines through 
the trees,

and the tide
that rise's and 
fall's 
from five oceans
born from 
One mystic sea -

God....
He spoke to me....


"The wind bloweth
where it listeth,
and thou hearest
the sound thereof,
but canst not tell
whence it cometh,
and wither it goeth:
So is every one 
that  is born 
of the spirit."

The wind, river, moon,
and sea, 
live's inside my spirit -

I am the wordless
voice
that speaks
in the wind -

I like your poem. I hope you don't mind that the English professor in me won't stay completely silent. You can make it even better by changing "fly's" to "flies," deleting the apostrophes in "rise's," "fall's," and "live's." Just some minor confusion over possessives and contractions. Nice use of the Scripture incorporated into it, though.
