The sound of your soul



What if...she thought outloud
As if she ought to have a voice talk back
What if angels could hear the light as it touched your bodies?
Like an owl would they...
Turn their heads in wonderment or concern?
What if...God, she thought,
could hear that sound across the whole planet, galaxy and cosmos and dimensions of time.
Is that...she almost praised,
the same sound as your soul?
How beautiful...she wondered now she could not sleep,
is the sound of light as it hits God themselves?
Maybe some light is too delicate to hear!
