WHEN I SING

When I sing
nothing seems important any more 
no problem is too trying 
no challenge too great 
when I sing
I can do anything.
 When I sing
I instantly start to smile 
I cannot help but find joy
in the wonderful music
when I sing 
my life becomes perfection.
When I sing
people pause and smile
”what a beautiful voice you have, honey”
they say
and I thank them
chuckling privately at how little they understand 
about the true beauty that occurs 
when I sing.

    he is kind and sweet and loving 
    so very beautiful.

    We sit in silence
    Festering in our lack of empathy 
    Or we stand and scream because still we are not heard
