In the still valleys where my fears dwell between them,
Your voice becomes the tide—soothing, yet broad.
A river of warmth flowing through my shattered fissures,
A tether that strings me along unthinkable dreams.
It is not only the sound; it is a different language.
A soft breath that knits my heart.
Each word you speak is like a vow,
So it was being a stranger to the parts of mending that I never touched.
When the world gets bitter and silence gets pleased,
Your voice is all of me, quiet as rain in summer.
It tells of a love that never bows down; it is awakened.
A tune shaking the abysses I have been living in.
I’ve listened to it in laughter sparkling as light,
Also in soft words whispered in the stillness of the night.
Your voice, a song that the nights can’t help but sing,
So it is that my soul is brought to the fore where all is held close by.
When silence is torture, an oppressive weight of feeling,
Your voice is the pivotal force that makes my destiny.
Only with your love can it reach the places through which others cannot.
It inundates my heart with its bright light love.
Every time, with your syllables, I shake off my grief,
Through them defeat changes into a kind whisper.
You bring to life the facets of me lost in a hopeless situation,
You coax them out with your love and your care.
Do you realize what a magnificent power your voice holds—
that it lets into my world its magic glow of gold?
It says I’m lovable, I’m important, I’m good,
And your love is the rhythm that makes me feel understood.
So speak, my love, away from the silencing Valhalla,
Through the chanted hush, let your word be the quiet man’s caller.
Make it rebound e’er through the wander from flame to shade,
Your voice is my total being in my mind, staying achieved.
Your voice playing in my silence, my heart rhymes’ perfectly,
The tone that mends the broken parts back together.
In it is the feeling of safety, the joy, the start—
The voice that woke up the heart’s lively throb.
