Whisper Soft Into the Night

Distant prayers echo through a lilac sky
light flickers brilliantly in angelic eyes
a yellow crocheted blanket falls to the floor
and a growing heart winks inside.

Kindness breeds kindness in a precious heart
and a kindred spirit lifts and flies free. 
helping our fellow man in need  
forgiving selfishness and greed

Open up your heart and mind
another child feeds a hungry soul
for one who loves to love, the greatest
blessing of all, is seeing the one you love, love

Whisper soft into the night my dire want
let the rains wash down a growing grace
carry off grandeur into a sequel led estate
as a simple smile adorns a very humble face

Good Afternoon Tim. You truly have beauty within you that you share because it comes through in your work. This entry must be read slowly. Further the reader must pause between stanzas. That is a credit to you and your writing. I also admired in this entry the limited punctuation for the words is all that is needed. Have a wonderful day. May the heart and mind open. Well done entirely.
