The words I read have a voice
My heart can hear.
Presenting a perspective
I may not yet
Have considered.
Words that
Challenge me,
Mold me,
Test me.
Time spent
With each author,
Getting to know
Him or her
Through what
Is shared in print.
Each life
Writer and reader,
Precious,
Intertwined,
Through words on a page.
From one soul to another,
Communicating,
Inaudible,
Yet powerful.
The list is long;
The names are many.
Each one
Participating
In me.
Over a cup of tea,
Or mid-day meal;
Quietly
We meet.
Who I am, in part,
Is whom they
Have helped me become.
From the Bible
And
From those who read it:
Love letters,
Advice,
Encouragement,
To build me up,
To help me be
A child
Reflecting the image of
My Father,
That I may go forth
And love.
Love better,
Because of what I learn
Through another’s words.

"To help me be a child reflecting the image of my Father" The ultimate 'known by the company he keeps'.
Surely the desire of all God's children.
Such a different approach - well done!
Intertwined, Through words on a page. From one soul to another, Communicating, Inaudible," Very nice work on this.
I liked your line breaks and the "words" became the company I kept. Very nice grown-up poem.
Keep at this form of poetry, will you?
