The Lady

The Lady

The lady had a mission, for she loved the sound of words:
to be a thunderous presence in the world of the mind,
to shout the truth
so that truth would change the path away from oblivion.
And her voice grew strong
with the beauty of her words,
and the strength of her vision.
And she shouted with mountainous eloquence.
But to the world the sound came
as a singular tinkling bell
inaudible--except like a tiny bird's chirping.
But it reached one mind

and that was enough.
