Listening to your voice
by Sigurdur HaraldssonListening to your voice
I dream about a better future
With you in it and me
Side by side, hand in hand
We drift through the days
Making small stops on the way
Making someone else's day
Listening to your voice
I dream about a better world
Where we make one another fall in love
With each other as well
Making everything so right
For everybody else
Then I abruptly wake up
Listening to your voice 08/26/2007 Author's Note: My first free verse in a very long time and my first ever in English

| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 08/26/07 at 04:27 PM I'd say you did pretty damn good. And I'd never guess it was your first go-round with the approach in English. |

| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 09/07/07 at 05:20 PM I love how this captures the hope and joy that a happy relationship brings to those witnessing it, as well as the two people experiencing it, and how the whole idea of it is more dream than reality. Amazing command of your second language. |
