That Whisper

You can only hear it in silence
That sweet whisper
A gentle tickle in your ear
A quiet nudge
Interrupted by wayward thoughts
And it's not silent anymore

The whisper is gone.

If you can still the thoughts
Humble the nuances in your mind
You might feel it
It might relay its grace once again
Just a glimmer in your head

Listen.

Soft and steady
That tranquil whisper
A calm encouragement to your soul
A hushed enlightenment
Slowly overwhelming your spirit
A peaceful trance

And the whisper rises.

Louder still, above the cacophony
The sounds that clutter and break
Nothing but the whisper
Pushing the rest away
Slowly filling every pore, every thought

That whisper.

Don't let it go
And be clouded with disarray
Discouraging chatter in your head
Let the soft wisps of words prevail
And give you peace.
Embrace what it has to offer

That whisper.
