Voice

In the blowing wind, my voice is swept away before I hear it.

In the square, my fellows must lean in to hear.

❖

You have given me such a quiet voice, Lord. One who discovers it must come close.

In a shut room, when I speak I am startled at the volume. Perhaps it is the setting that matters equally as the voice.

❖

Let me speak where you would have me have me heard, Lord.

Can I discern where my voice is most needed?
