Whisper

Whisper

The whisper of the eternal God tiptoes in sighs
Breathing inspiration to the artist and the pen,
Murmurs consolation to grieving eyes,
Shivers in the tamed typhoon of shame to the cheating heart,
Quietly touches a fearful hand in the breath of silence,
Awakening praises of devotion in new antiphons,
Caresses moments of illumination,
Embraces weakness with the sweet fragrance of grace,
Leaves the shadow of a smile in moments of a-ha,
Exhales breathless anticipation like the haunting flute,
Floats with yearning to share secrets in the sanctuary of creation,
Soft brush in wispy silhouettes for shadows of questions,
Fluttering perpetual vow - abiding in tender vows -
No cold mistral disturbs the flow of prayers and pleas,
Ever restless seeks the soul’s attention in an airy gossamer kiss,
Ever present guardian,
Everlasting whisper of the eternal.

Inspired by Whisper to Me - not entered.

I am again honored by your placement. I loved this theme but it took a while for the poem to take shape. And, I almost didn't enter it! So happy that you liked it. All the best to you.

John Watt June 16, 2020 at 11:12 PM This is another "wow" poem for me, Sam. I'm thinking of the inspiring, illuminating, empowering, comforting, awakening, advocating work of the Holy Spirit. Love the breath and wind references. The poet in me enjoys the line "Leaves the shadow of a smile in moments of a-ha." Awesome, another fav for me. Grace and peace to you, my dear friend ~ John Sam Kauffman June 18, 2020 at 4:47 PM John, thank you! It was an amazing journey exploring the "whisper of God." I got so immersed in it that I missed the contest deadline! All things happen for a reason. Like a whisper, set free, the HS is always on the move - a living verb. We are blessed by "God's prankster! Blessings of inspiration dear friend! May the HS give you a bear hug as you take another base!
