The Singing Life

I never sing in the shower.
My song is meant to be shared.
A risky exposure of self
Prodding, stirring up
unspoken dreams.

A fleeting glimpse,
A moment of knowing
there is a greater something.
Communion of singer and listener
transported
to a life of the spirit
where rapture awaits.
