As a Lowly Sheep

On what voice does your ears fall?

A profound sense to words uttered
across a pulpit paired with applause
seems but mutters
a muted note may fill the ears of the deaf
and a dull knife may butter the bread
and sackcloth does make a pillow
and placebos can be a pill
These are all true and more to varying degrees
If you are willing to trade your clean vestige for fleas
and fine wine for a cold thick mead
My master opened my ears and called 
and I, lowly as a sheep, followed
but on what voice do your ears fall?
Does it resonate richly or hollow?

Well written and beautifully constructed! Also very inspiring and heart felt :) I have read a few of your poems and you really seem to have written these poems based on personal experiences which is very cool. Nicely done!

p.s. Where is the poem called "So Shall I Kiss the Queen"? >:(
