Whispers of the Soul
A sullen day it is as I sit on the shore
Gazing at water foaming and churning
As I feel the wild wind lashing at my face
All the forces of nature acting as in a race
My eyes are swollen from my tears of regret
Only a sunken feeling do I feel in my heart
There is no room for laughter or happiness
For my soul feels empty without a reason to live
Enveloping me in waves as deep as the sea
Are the memories of days gone by that haunt me
Why can’t I let them go and feel some peace
Am I doomed forever in this lonely place
Can I not find a somewhere that will afford me
At least a few moments away from anxiety
Will satan forever hold me in his keep
Never to be able to rest and have a dreamless sleep
A sound so slight that at first I do not hear
Low and constant a whisper in my ear
I strain to listen as the wind and rain persist
Whispers softly flowing through the air
Telling me that I have nothing to fear
Hold on to my faith for God is near
I turn my head back and forth to see
If there is someone else sitting near me
But there is no one around just me and the sea
Whispers of love and continuity
I feel a peace enter my heart and soul
As if God has helped me to let go
All the fear that have followed me through my life
Are suddenly flowing away with the tide
I can feel warmth coming into my heart
Taking over my body and soul making
Room for love to enter in to my life
For to long I have been tortured by my past
Dreams at night have put me through the task
Of reliving every bad nightmare I ever had
No happy dreams only the bad
Now I feel as though there is a chance for peace
Maybe with this renewed faith my pain I can release
Whispers continue as I rise to leave this place
But I am confident now for I have had a taste
Of Gods mercy and love as I feel
His presence in my heart and soul
All it took was for me to let go
Put my past and pain in his hands in prayer
He immediately whispered “I am here”
