Do you know

[ar]

Do you know
What it is to be mute ?
To drown in silence
wishing to gently share
the song of a muffled soul
with someone who care ?

Do you know
What it is to be blurred ?
To choke forever
in a soundless space
To be set aside
as a long lost case ?

Unspoken thoughts chase
a pipe dream,only to die
in a slow sepia haze
Unsaid words gurgle and spin
as a benumbed voice trembles
in a chasm deep within

A hushed heart grieves
for it longs to speak
Of vales and rustling leaves
Corked up long indoors
now it bleeds and broods,
Of life and its roughened course

Gagged through the ages
it has a deadened tone
Inside a cry rages
too weary to come clear
It utters a voiceless scream
If only someone would hear

Wonderful to be a Woman
in a world such as this
To be the cherished one
That tag 'The Other' to dismiss
To be able to bravely bear
the pains and the pricks
To be able to tenderly share
Love without end, a heady mix

A womb to dearly treasure
A godliness truly to show
It's her calling, her pleasure
Only for a mother to know
The very first heartbeat
Behold her creation, a Life
See the world at her feet
without a struggle or a strife
To cuddle the new one
Like no one ever can
To fathom life's vision
Like only she can

An inner strength to die for
A power she forever conceals
For a woman cares not to score
She'd rather overcome the ordeals
Her ego, she readily forfeits
For what worth has this
in her world where love has no limits
It's a world of her making
A place for heavenly bliss

Wonderful to be a Woman
Who is all this and more
Hear the hails that have begun
As they ask her for an encore.
