Unsung Words
© 2008, Lisa Venkatrathnam
Unsung words
Are trapped and caught
Beneath the ceiling
Of my heart
I try to say
The simplest things
Cannot pray
Cannot sing
Am I scared
To tell the truth?
Why am I
So far from you?
Unwritten lies
Unspoken blame
Unanswered ‘whys’
Unraveled faith
You welcome my silence
And ask for me to come
So turn this muted life
Into a living song
Even rocks
Can sing your name
But words refuse
To leave this cage
A voiceless gift
Must speak for me
Unscripted tears
To wash your feet
You welcome my silence
And ask for me to come
So turn this muted life
Into a living song
…You know what is unheard
…You hear my unsung words
