Our Voices
Strange to think
My voice sounds
Different to your ears
Than to mine-
An awareness
Only realized
When recorded
And played back-
Like listening
To a stranger
Nothing at all
Like the voice
Inside my head-
Sounds odd to me
But you don’t
Seem to mind-
I guess all that
Truly matters
Is for the voice
Inside my head
To match the one
Inside my heart
The recorded poem is from my latest collection, Quiet Embers: Poetry of Faith. Available here: https://a.co/d/89QGhz8 💜

Kelley, this brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been sappy today (I’ll write about it 🥰). Hearing your voice…your beautiful words describing the voice in your heart different than what you hear (I get it!)…joy and grief~two sisters. You’re such a beautiful and gifted soul~in and out. I’m so blessed to HEAR your beautiful words and to know you on this journey. Much love and prayers, Karla💛🙏🏻
