One Voice

One Voice

 

 

 

 

A voice can speak a million words,

But it’s not the words that’s in control

The voice comes from within the mind

A place where words are used to describe

Love fears, hopes and dreams

And a million schemes

 

 

A voice only reads what’s written in the mind

Be it clean and pure or empty without worth

Your words emanate who you are inside

And the voice repeats what is there

Some vain, haughty and some empty of air

 

 

There are voices that speak with truth and right

Pulling every ounce of love for your fellowman

Rolling out off the tongue in velvet chocolate style

Breathing peace and fellowship from an uncluttered mind

Words written in the mind tells us who you are

Someone worthless or one who’s reaching for a star

 

 

How does the voice speak from your mind?

Do people hear words of worthiness?

Or words of deceit and hate

Does your voice speak proudly?

Or with callousness and disdain

Is your voice wanted or a major pain

 

 

We’ve heard it said throughout the land

That one voice can make a difference

Tell me friend, will your voice be remembered

And be quoted down through the ages

It will if you clean your mind of debris

And ask for guidance on bended knee

[C.L. Wilson]

Beautiful tribute to the voices of the past. The fourth stanza does it all for me.
