Whispers

the whispers of the morning
are felt in the sunlight
and the stillness of the air

they’re echoed in the quietness
and dance lightly in a prayer

you’ll find them in the metronome
of wings of butterfly
and in the tune of bumblebee
as he hums when he goes by

you can find them
in your thoughts of peace
in your solitudinous way
and in the soft rise of the sun
at the beginning of your day

they’re in the shadows
of the flowers
that skirt the hem of lawn

you’ll welcome them
as answered prayer
in the gently rising dawn

oh, listen with your heart
with an ever-present ear
they’ll lift you to a lilting soar
and beget a joyous tear

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
