Where is the Voice

Where is the voice
that melts and soothes?
Where is the voice
the seduces and excites?
Where is the voice
that brings warmth and caring
and well-being, a knowing
that it will all be all right?

Where is the voice?
Only the sound of wind
no birds
no traffic
no buzzing of bees;
no sense
all lost
you fall to your knees.

Where are the whispers
that ring in the ears?
Where is the passion
that brings one to tears?
Where is the laughter
that eases the pain
Why only silence
even in this rain?

Where is the medley
promised long ago?
Where is the goodnight story
told with lights dimmed low?
Where is the voice
that brought comfort and peace;
enthusiasm, and renewal
of life's short lease?
