My Voice Poem by Luz EtchemendiGaray

I have a voice
and I want you to hear me,
because a voice is the medium
we human have
to reach each other^s hearts.
What would Shakespearte have done
had he no words to move us?

That voice is mine as well,
the voice of a small creator
of other worlds,
to give voice to those who lack one,
to succeed in reaching out
to thirsty souls.

Translated by Sue Littleton, Daniel Ginhson and the author.
