When God Whispers
When God whispers, the sky turns blue.
Bright flowers broadcast every hue.
Mauve mountains shade green valleys deep
where dog and boy keep frisky sheep.
Brimming rivers run clear and true.
Forests beckon all creatures who
follow the path of bear and shrew.
Where willows arise tall, but weep
…when God whispers.
Birds relating the miles they flew
keenly warble their points of view
and I

The shadow whisper
It’s whispers.
Can you hear them?
I don’t want to,
but they force me to.
Sitting in an empty room,
with no one—
just a cigarette in my hand.
Every time it touches my lips,
it kills me
and makes me want to avoid it—
I know that cigarette is not good for me,
but I like doing something
I know is going to kill me.
But he

Atta-Gal I'm your Man tonight
The perfect indication
a smirk, with some flirtation
a special night
for dating
do you wanna dance with me
Suggestive comments got me thinking
that atta-bouis
and all that winking
laning on me
got me thinking
you wanna dance with me
aint got the right stuff for staying
work in the morning my Boss aint
playing
But you got me wanting
some forward thinking
the night aint through
when the band finishes

NIGHT WHISPERS
NIGHT WHISPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun sets in the sky with a strong orange color similar to that of one of Aunt Maudie’s tangerine jellies. It remains visible above the horizon, overseeing the earth. Evening begins, a period marked by quieter thoughts and relaxation. I notice the arrival of the autumnal breeze, absorbing myself in the sounds of

Whispers of Silence
Last night silence spoke,
with fear and with dread,
a language whispered
only in the dark,
spoken by shadows,
heard mainly by kids.
Few adults could hear
what light would not bear
but darkness conveyed—
that language of fear
spoken in silence.
But who taught us
how to speak and hear?
What spirits cannot spit,
yet phantoms cry out,
to our trembling ears.
The night holds its breath,
its secrets confined,
trees bend

Wily Whispers Before Waking
I recall thinking of the response,
when you murmured asleep in the night,
the bubble whirls, set to collapse,
where words shimmer with resonance.
Like a rolling, flip-roll calendar on desk,
days shuffle forward, then scatter away,
an unforgettable roll call in the dawning.
Stars sparkle reluctant; veiled in the hush of mist.
It's just a skipping stones throw of thinking.
Each circle a

when the night whispers your name
walking past 5 am
seeing the wind move the trees
dark with dimmed light
shadows hovering over me
no hums or echoes
just quietness a place of peace

whispers of the night wind
whispers of the wind catch my clairaudient talents
they turn and listen hard,
expecting to get direction
the moon is bright tonight; he captures my attention
spirit guides need to slow it down a bit,
their whispers sound like bird speak
the message was fleeting, gone now,
I imagine my dreams will give me the answers
see a flicker of light in the

Whispers of Forever
Trapped between the lines of love's sweet plight,
The weddings that never came to be,
The chances seized, yet lost in fading light,
A whispered dream, you set my spirit free.
For pieces set aside, both shattered and untouched,
A heart laid bare, vulnerable and raw,
I gaze at you, and suddenly so much,
The wordings of my heart begin to thaw.
You

Whispers Beneath the Jade Mirror
Quote:"Lurking in stone’s shadow, quietly flows a fleeting saga of heroism.
And I, too, swim like that koi—through stillness, I traverse time in contemplation. " --- Zen thought
In the jade-mirrored stillness, scales ripple like silent sutras,
Broidered ghosts of light drifting beneath stone and shadow.
Each breath of water carries a hush—a teaching unspoken,
Inviting

LAST WHISPERS

In the fading light of a Texas sunset,
the Texas windmill stands,
a sentry of rust and memory,
its blades stretching wide,
catching the last whispers of the day.

ANGELIC WHISPERS
ANGELIC WHISPERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the night air trembles
angelic whispers--pure, clear
language of spirit
wings outstretched, they fly
across the starry expanse
free, unbound—their flight
graceful reflection
of divine and infinite
glimpse of heaven's gate
in their winged presence,
time stands still--all is made new
the Eternal now

Whispers In The Woods
She heard whispers in the dark of night
Deep within the woods
Voices of the dead , she thought
Or satanic beings who roam in cloaked hoods
Standing frozen with fear , breath rapid and low
She convinced herself it was only the rustling of the trees
As she walked deeper into the darkness
A cloaked hooded figure stood watching with
