I wrote this about a dear friend with an Unheard voice years ago. Today is his birthday, so it is fitting that I share it now. Though he doesn't know where his gifts will lead, I still admire his spirit, his tenacity, and his vision.

DIGITAL ART: "Letterbox Eyes", ef grace 2003.

Destination Unknown

A thousand miles he rode
Staring through the panes of cold
Glass that masked
The cities before him--
Reality grew dim...

Where did he go wrong?
Was it that last turn
That made his heart burn
Like there was just
Something that didn't belong?

The questions to be asked
Became a task...
What was it that he sought or
Was it worth it to be fought for?
Or did he just sit still and take it?

It's not like he could fake it--
His words were true,
Like those eyes of blue, but
As for what was in his head,
Well, some things are better left unsaid...

...Or so he said...
c. 2003.

    No longer Unheard 
    It's hard to be heard in this world, and even harder when duties, economics, and self-doubt further drown out our sounds.

    I created the Unheard voices in the hope that none of our gifts are laid to waste, that through community and support of each other, we will find outlets, and make our voices heard.

    In time, I changed the name from the Unheard voices to the Visual Voice, for I no longer wish to be unheard...
    :)
