Voice

Yvette Francis

Voice to speak

Why don’t they listen?

Voice to teach

Do they really learn?

Voice to whisper… to soothe

Will they take comfort?

Voice to declare… truth

Will they run away?

Voice of courage

Voice of beauty

Voice of grace

Voice of wisdom, love and joy!

My voice goes on…

The voice I have earned

The voice that always has been

Now unencumbered

Now free

Now me!

All me!

One Poem Only submissions are open.

I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
