Whispers of Light

Deep inside a tormented soul, where suicidal thoughts give birth; Where the cost of what it takes to live hardly seems to be what it is worth; Deep in the abyss of forgotten dreams and of a wasted, forsaken life, Is faintly heard, the angel’s word, uttered in whispers of light. In the darkness of despair; in the shadows of lost hope; In the emptiness out there – at the end of one’s rope; In the moment of willingness to abandon the good fight; The angel’s song, starts growing strong, echoing whispers of light. The stairway back to spiritual health often comprises many flights; But, to help us go, we might first know, the angel’s whispers of light. by Joe Flach, written and posted 2/17/14 for Gail Doyle's "Whispers of Light" contest.
