falling

your voice
resonates in my soul
ricochets between the walls of my heart
and materializes
upon my lips.
smiling
ear to ear
from within
everywhere.
every touch
every contact
ignites
every cell.
restoration radiates around me
begins within.
from my tongue
comes languages forgotten
words, once betrayed, and left for decay
now approach
the edge
of spoken and felt
of offered and taken...
fear diminishes
beneath your gaze
as hope
ceases its hiding.
