The Singer


by Arthur Isaacson

I listen to his voice upon the breeze

as filling all my world, it gives release.

A voice I know yet haven't heard before

embraces me in golden warmth and more.

It's not his words that hold me in their grip

but sounds defying all known authorship.

I hear them in my soul as if from me

And wonder why his sound can set me free.

I sense his voice is from an inner source

as I become the sounds that through me course,

and all I ever longed to say before

the singer has in beauty now explored.

Searching for the truth within I find

the common source where we are intertwined.

His music that consumes me and enthralls

Is the sound of who I am, he has recalled.

I listen to his voice upon the breeze

that carries me to places not believed.

To know that this ascension soon will end

and I will spend my life to comprehend.
