Your voice = euphoria

6/15/24

Your voice a stream, gentle and unceasing,

flows through the corridors of my being.

Each word, a note, delicate and clear,

touches the core, awakening something deep.

In the morning, your whispers break the dawn,

softly calling the day into being.

At night, your tone cradles the dark,

bringing a calm that settles the stars.

The world is a tapestry of sounds,

but your voice, a thread that weaves through,

creating patterns only the soul can see,

a quiet song that lifts the heart.

In the presence of your voice, I am whole,

each syllable a breath that fills my soul.
