His Beautiful Voice Poem by Louise Tredoux

Rudi relaxing next to me, I am stroking
his back, he is telling me of his work
with marine species

Dreaming aloud of his plans to start his
own aquarium, work with dolphins, his
voice warm and comforting

Creating a vision in lyrical terms, dreaming
how he will show me everything, this sweet
togetherness creating

Our own paradise, he pulls me down on his
lap stroking my hair, his voice taking me to
places I’ve never been

His beautiful voice a musical instrument,
his lovely ideas being the melody…
