Umm ... John?

Oops, sorry. There is an interesting lesson in simile here if you will indulge me.

As poets we want to take the abstract or unrelatable and compare it to the concrete or relatable to create an experience for the reader. You have done the opposite here. You have taken something we can relate to (a kiss) and described it in a way we can't relate to (god's voice).

Think how much more powerful it is to describe god's voice as a kiss.
