Hear That Whisper
Hear That Whisper?
That faint whisper one can almost hear at the break of day
is the angels fluttering dragging the last of
the stubborn intense pains of darkness away!
That roar one hears as the damn gates loudly clank to
is dark shadows locking the miseries into you!
That wailing cry you hear just before sweet morn's light
is your heart screaming for iron chains to break open
the bindings cutting your throat all the evil night!
That sad remorse lumping up in your burning hot throat
is the dregs of sorrows that cast in the deep blues
as you lay there helpless in a burning, sinking boat!
Never hear that whisper and feel so proud and relieved
is that your fantasy that gives you a moments rest
or hell about to break loose in a soul forever aggrieved!
