The Voice and the Ear
by
Nicholas Tofteland


Chair of love and patience
Chair of learning and truth
Honesty, never allows delusion triumph
Harmony is created by the Voice and the Ear

Shine brightly, rain nutriment
Replace bother with love
Confess the wall coming down
Open the home to renovation
Rebuild on the firm foundation.

Dance joyfully and be glad
For what other time but now
For it will get worse
But grace allows; the Voice to teach and the Ear to learn
Tomorrow we welcome in.

Looking through the glass
The neighborhood bustling as it will
Us growing stronger
Fortune carried in our hearts
The promise of the visit

We are one; the Voice and the Ear
And you are the one I am joined to
From that firm foundation
I build, always peeking upward
Confident in your nearness
Supporting and holding hands

We shall decorate the House together
Express all our triumphs there
A focal point
Not mistaking it for what it is not
But the truth! Oh, so near!

Weaving substance into time
Shining moments, love and purpose supreme
Following guidance, now to guide
Thank you to the Voice sublime
