CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I am the voice that is all voices
Proclaiming the greatness of being at peace with you
I am every language spoken at once
An audible panorama of inconclusive evidence that I am
I am the voice that is all voices
Proclaiming that once what was shall be again
I am every language spoken at once
An irrevocable microcosm of insubstantial being
I am the voice that is all voices
Why then do I go unheard
I am every language spoken at once
Why then am I not written
Some of the most valuable things are the easiest to claim
Because they have not yet been appraised
And so it is taht the message goes unmeasured, unheard
Forgotten and a blur in time
