One lone voice
Quiet but strong
Knowing wrong from right
And right from wrong.

One lone voice
Alone in the dark
Enough to stir the soul
Enough to cause a spark.

One lone voice
Strikes a nerve
Astounding - the indescribable purpose
A mind well-fed serves.

One lone voice
As soft as a summer breeze
Enough to move you
And move you with ease.

Why don’t you
Become that one lone voice
To sway or be swayed -
Allow yourself to make the choice.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem in order to encourage people to use the voice. So many times, young people are not given adequate opportunity to voice their opinions. With this particular poem, I want to show people my age that they do, indeed, have a voice, and they can use it to change the world.

I love that idea, that one, quiet, "lone" voice can change so much. It's a really beautiful notion. Thank you for writing this.
