James Dotzler Poet Free verse

Portent

Whisper to me
I can't hear you when you scream
rescue me
engulfed in that scream.

Whisper to me
like the portent of the Omnipotent
upon the still small breeze

calms the chaos, quells the cacophony
gently surrenders the ear.

Saving whisper, attune my ear to truth.
Giving whisper, poise my mind for beauty.
Merciful whisper, dispose my soul to goodness.

Because a whisper, oh, a whisper!

Anything worth giving
anything worth receiving

should be 
born of 
a whisper.
