I Heard

I heard a tiny whisper The word was very vague I ignored the tiny whisper Then it left my mind today. I heard more words resound It stated I must listen I ignored the words completely And like the mist it eventually lifted. I heard a chain of sentences Sending a message to my soul I closed off all connections No light to brighten the road. Then I heard the sound of thunder I looked inside my heart It leapt then ran away The thunder it did depart. So I asked my heart again To give me a second chance We must love it or feel it's shame Sadly now it cannot change. So I do not hear the whispers Or a word that may resound I've been left with only chains No more thunder all around. Did I wait too long for a message Ignoring all the signs I wonder if it will come back to me I'll search for it this time. So when I listened for the whisper The words would resonate Like thunder in the distance Was now upon my gate. And I don't ignore the whispers Or it too will chain my soul As the thunder goes away Like the sand within a cove. And today I hold to signs To honor the mystery I feel it's friendship upon me And it will no longer chain my being.
