Will God turn his head?
Will He free an ear?
Will my voice mean something
will anyone really hear?

Will it matter if I speak the words
To someone therapeutic?
If I don't say words clearly now
Will hearing be like music.

In certain places
I hear a song
In others
Songs are quiet.

If I talk to God or human being
And can't speak meaning clearly
Have I fallen in a forest
Where no one's there to hear me?

Or have they witnessed meaning
As if it doesn't matter?
If noise of crashing tree is heard
Or silence stays to flatter.

I don't believe the all hearing being
Would not grasp meaning freely
I feel it certain with my faith
My words accepted keenly.

For music heard and unheard
Still carries tune completely
What is not heard is often felt
And settles spirit neatly.


So if an ear is tuned to noise
With meaning grasped completely
Should I assume that left unanswered
My questions are met weakly?


And fears expressed, unanswered songs
Stay in the air for answer
While life goes on with me near gone
Confused of what needs doing.


I sing a song, tree felled belong
Keep asking what needs answers
And when they see it's asked by me
Instead I needed Dancers.


For movement offered
Especially near
Gets point across
More clearly.


I will not fear
What they don't hear
I'll show myself
Most bravely.


And speak and dance
And think them all
And look
For current answer.


In forest silent
No noise compliant
Trees simply sway
Their way.


And speak with hush
And dance with breeze
Their answers
Moving gently.


Then I will listen
To sway and swish
My answers sent
Most dearly.
