Your Voice

A branch only rustles
When wind stirs its leaves.
Guitar strings only play music
When they are plucked.

A record only plays
When the needle hits the groove.
An engine only hums
When the car is driven.

A phone only rings
When someone calls.
Waves only crash
When there is shoreline to crash against.

The feeling only comes
When I hear your voice.
My voice only comes
When I hear your voice.
