WHISPERS

WHISPERS

To know a silence that never ends is cruel....to be taken out of life by the ignorance of others is a crime...

Sometimes, through my medical madness, I never thought I would live to see the day, I would feel peace and stop looking over my shoulder...

God was always with me, despite my conflicting poems.....and in your darkness God shines a light...a hand to hold..while the chaos is calmed....and I claim life once again..

She falls to her knees from pain and exhaustion

Going blind from confusion feeling lost and alone

Each day she waits for the whisper she’s longing to hear

Where is the whisper that welcomes her home?

Angry from pain; no direction to turn

Her hand reaches out grasping dead air

She will hide with her whispers, to be safe forever

From being hurt once again or needing medical repair

She tries hard to speak, but words die on her lips

She tries to sound warm but sounds cold

Whispers won’t leave there is no peace of mind

Whatever she finds she can’t seem to hold

Always keeping a distance yet longing for closeness

Hoping for trust complete in her mind

Whispers get louder as she sits in the darkness

She seeks something she’s never been able to find

Solitude and isolation becomes her constant companion

She finds safety enough to explore

The whispers grow quiet; need becomes less   

She finds comfort behind her closed door……

Honorable Brenda Keough,

This is a poem which echoes, shouts by itself, my applause, my love, my five stars, I wish to favorite this, and seek your permission to appreciate via my POET'S PEN,

I like the below lines

She tries hard to speak, but words die on her lips

She tries to sound warm but sounds cold

Whispers won’t leave there is no peace of mind

Whatever she finds she can’t seem to hold

Always keeping a distance yet longing for closeness

Hoping for trust complete in her mind

Whispers get louder as she sits in the darkness

Make our life a abode of heart, where can live in, with a door that is open to receive friends and a garden full of memories of many good things. Inside the heart of each and every one of us there is a desire to be understood by someone who really cares. When a person is understood, he or she can put up with almost anything in the world.

Regards & Love

WILLIAMSJI MAVELI
