The Sound of My Voice by Ettenil the Poet Lyrics
May I have your attention
I've already cleared my throat
if I haven't mentioned
in the poems that wrote
on my own
almost like freestyle
but written first on my iPhone
and for a little while
a small period of time
I'll read to you
my version
of rhythmic lines
so before you do
or follow on to a distraction
see if you can get a reaction
to the sound of my
voice
although it's not always heard
it's okay
because I know
one day
you will listen
and once it's your turn
to speak out
whether it's whispered or loud
I will listen
and give my undivided attention
because I am open-minded
with an open heart
it's not always easy
to get up and share
there's always a reason
to be
to read
to inspire
hopefully
to think that poetry
is more then just
words in lines
a piece of art
that comes from the mind and heart
flows to the fingertips
sounds... out of my lips
music from ear to ear
my voice is my instrument
my mind are my notes
my heart is my song
my body is my dance
if you enjoyed your time
the time you shared with me
put your hands together
or snap your fingers
for I am ending
in harmony
I am Ettenil the poet.
Thank you.
Peace and Love Y'all!
