This is another old poem but an article in our Saturday newspaper, about the ability of a mother’s voice to calm and alleviate stress (not all mothers I’m sure)prompted me to mix this recording with Pitx’s lovely ‘Little Star’.
My Mother’s Voice She is the soothing tone of her voice smoothing bedclothes with hands which are never still and when she sits her fingers slip yarn around a needle and knit the evenings into garments as her voice dances its bee dance round the honeycomb of rooms carrying trays of light snacks wiping dust from surfaces until they gleam unmarked windows to her soul. And when she senses danger in a raised voice she licks its anger like a wound and coaxes it to heal for she is the peacemaker and her voice goes on breaking into song - is the harmony of wind which rocks our family tree in her cradle of arms that never breaks. (c)Deb Matthews-Zott Play
