A Word Bathing in Moonlight
You understand solitude,
the function of water,
how stones breathe
and the unbearable weight
of love. Give up, the voice says.
Trust only yourself.
Wrapped in light, you
turn outward. Burst forth.

Funny how that happens- sometimes our poems know more about us than we do 😊

Lovely, I love the audio, been trying it myself but my voice doesn’t do what yours does.

I think we tend to be hard on ourselves, and our voices are never what we expect. I’m used to mine now, but disliked it when I first started recording.
