Whispering, Trembling, Feelings

Listen to the beautiful Lingering in the tender voices Mingling with soup, potatoes, chunks Light joy, garlicky seasonings Inspiration falling, blending voices Temptations burning Away the darkness, the black yearnings Remember the shadows Blazing with hues of promises Erasing the melancholy, Voices alive with laughter Smiles knowing the vibrant Slow dance, a walk through graceful Truth said… Together we can tease the Color from darkness, Silence the star’s songs with Wonders beyond our own imaginations, Feelings breathless and warm, Forming a memory in the heart, The soul, conspiring with time to move From the dark to the light, Remembering only the breathless Caress of morning’s sun Shining on the heart, the smile – Whispering, trembling, feelings Bleeding through the dark, glistening Like the edges of a kindness Only known to the soul who hears Hearts instead of voices, Tears instead of ocean’s spraying Beautiful in the promises Made by those who sincerely pray For humanity, for hope, for grace For the love in eternal praise WTF Contest John lawless May 29, 2023
