Finding My Voice
written by: Kenneth Vincent Walker
I found my voice soprano
High as lovely birds chirp
And quip at the passersby.
Their charming harmonies
Are light and quick wisking
Me away in Nature’s bliss.
I found my voice singing
Tenor tones with a richness,
A warmth, to melt the snow.
Ringing out like a bell
Heard near and far echoing
In the distance even more.
I found my voice dip deeper
Yet, as a grizzly forages
In the forest and is a threat.
A baritone growling, snarling,
Teeth and spit; skulking back
Into the darkness for a nap.
I found my voice guttural,
A lowly bass, that rumbles
Like thunder and shakes;
Vibrations, sensations that
Seem out of place because
My voice doesn’t match with
My countenance, my face.
