To a God of Song

Oh to know a voice...
to know the colors
that grace the air  
when you sing
 
To be lost on the calm
of your breath  
I'll take the hum,  
that kiss of hope
placed in my hair
 
A lover's touch
for the palms
of my hands
a sacred song
to annoint my ears,
and wash my sins
 
For in your voice
I can hear the gods..
 
A sound of affection
heard in every  
inflection
despite pain
that may rise
with reflection  
 
To stop a war
to hush a scream
to halt the words
that could cause
such crumbling
 
To calm the hearts
beating with pain
to cause my tears
then take them  
all away
 
I am awed
I am lost  
and you..
