A Voice on the Radio

I fell in love at seventeen

With a voice who's face I had never seen,

Echoing quietly, soft and serene

On the airwaves traveled a million miles

To touch my soul with angelic tones.

Speaking in voice so much like my own;

Whispering softly for my ears alone.

Soothing contentment...

Tickling smiles...

 

Where can nostalgia tempt us to go?

Seeking the joy that we knew long ago,

Harboring secrets that no one can know;

No one may enter our private domain.

 

Wild beasts may beckon to break down our door,

Serpents may slither across barren floor,

Gluttons may hunger... Longing for more,

But settle for silence...

As memories remain.
