Look around u

U will see

Most people screaming

As loud as can be

But if u’re smart

Or lucky enough

U’ll spot those rare few

Separate them from the fluff

Those quiet voices

With gentle intonations

Can make or break u

The sound of conscience

I met this girl

Laughter all sweetness & light

And she didn't speak very loud

Indeed, she was quite slight

But she was one of those

With a voice as quiet as can be

But one with a strange power

Is the impact she had on me

Her quiet voice

With gentle intonations

Can make or break u

The sound of conscience

Her voice had reason

Her voice was true

Sometimes brutal, esp with self

In this jaded world, it was new

And as I got to know her

I know it came from a place

Of massive strength & discipline

Overcoming odds with such grace

Her quiet voice

With gentle intonations

Can make or break u

The sound of conscience

And make no mistake

She is more than her voice of strength

She has surprising softenesses

A precipitous artistic bent

But hidden inside the wrapping

Of talent & intelligence

Her character gives an ethereal glow

And for me she is the voice of conscience

Her quiet voice

With gentle intonations

Can make or break u

The sound of conscience
