Whispers of Light

I listen to the whisper of angel wings Hovering at the edge of eternity Her glowing fingers play silver harp strings I am mesmerized by her purity Here I behold her light with thankful eyes Hovering at the edge of eternity I am far from worthy I realize I'm amazed at this revealed mystery Here I behold her light with thankful eyes The culmination of my history Still I am not ready to take her hand I'm amazed at this revealed mystery I know I belong in another land Beyond the clouds waits a heavenly gate Still I am not ready to take her hand She flies away I am allowed to wait I listen to the whisper of angel wings Beyond the clouds a heavenly gate Her glowing fingers play silver harp strings Written By: Richard Lamoureux February 19th 2014

You never cease to amaze me. You are a man who has his sights set on the eternal, and whose heart can hear the whispers of the angels.

I think the angels are bowing to this poem. What touching lines. Very, very thought-provoking...whispers really can be louder than screams, when spoken from the heart.
