“Just Call me Inspiration”

(with thanks to Carrie Newcomer whose lyrics inspired it, and a nod to Stevie Nicks) 

There is a voice in my mind, just beyond silence; just beyond sound
I recognise its resonance deep in my bones, just beyond hearing; just beyond thought.

I feel it on my skin, like feathers, like grit, just beyond contact; just beyond thought.

It howls with the wind, crashes like waves, it is as sharp as a bird’s beak, as sweet as its song, 
it echoes like canyons, and babbles like brooks, just beyond thunderous; just beyond sigh.

I can’t discern meaning, I cannot catch words; just beyond earshot, just beyond grasp
but I might learn its secret though hidden within; the voice is possibly mine.
