Whisper

 

Needless noise haunts this haven,

Blaring horns and boisterous pipes,

Restless people shuffling papers,

Labored breathing through fiber masks.


Distant rumblings - rocket tests,

Shakes me from a ringing slumber,

Looking up to gaze and ponder,

You’re infinitely silent.


If I hear at all; a whisper:

This chalice I’m to drink,

To understand Your silence,

And expand my frame in wisdom.


Nothing less through the ages;

Saints, prophets, sages all the same.

Adoring the invisible

Through faith that makes visible.
