Heart Talk

Heart Talk, Speaking like Music

"I wish I could speak like music. 

 I wish

 I could put the swaying splendor for fields into words

 so that you could hold Truth against your body

 and dance."     Hafiz

I wish I could speak

Oh, I speak a lot

To clients

groups

to my church

I throw words out there

that are often clever

sometimes profound

even eloquent

or so I am told

But sometimes it is clear

that words are not enough

that somehow with the words

must come

essence

(for lack of a better word)

Words must have companions

one's being

one's self

one's energy

one's heart and soul

must journey with them

It is when my words

are woven into the fabric of who I am

that they begin to sing

to be

music

that stirs the heart and soul of others

that touches them

with truth

reality

and stirs in their soul

the faint whisperings of the divine

and binds my soul, my heart to theirs

Grant me God

the grace

the depth

the fullness

so that I might speak like music
