The Loud Voice says, "DO IT!".
The soft voice whispers, "no".
It can certainly be confusing,
Which way is best to go.

At times I get this feeling,
Deep down inside of me,
To follow the roads less traveled,
To set my spirit free.

A spirit free to wander,
Can "see" countless things,
Learning lessons as it goes,
~ Earning its angel wings.

I'm open to the Guidance,
That comes to me each day.
I keep my ears wide open,
To what the whispers say.

Mr. T. ~

I now know that it IS the whispering voices that steer me right! My ears are now tuned in to their frequencies! lol

Ah, yes, angels whisper while temptation yells, less of course you are in danger, then the angels cry out in warning.  I liked this piece.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Susan ~

You are quite right! I have heard the angels loudly cry out, "STOP!" ~ and my life had been subsequently saved!

The rest of the time, they just seem to whisper! lol

Good night, Sweet Susan!

"And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.
And he answered, saying:
...The hidden well-spring of your soul
must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And the treasure of your infinite depths
would be revealed to your eyes."

Linda, there's always a war between what is good and what isn't...sometimes the temptation is too great and the evil wins. But, yes, there are warnings telling us which to do...if we will only listen.

Thanks for sharing these words of wisdom.
Hugs,
Ethel

yeah, I've had those two guys on each shoulder as well, but like I always say, if it feels right and won't hurt anyone, then do it, cuz you only live once.  Besides, God didn't create mankind to be unhappy, he gives his approval and says...it's ok.  

Big smiles Linda, very much enjoy reading you

Linda, I thought I would share with you my very first post at Passions, and one that is also featured on the main site.  I had recently come from an "Angel" site, which I cannot locate any longer - and heaven only knows, literally, how many angel pieces of poetry I left behind there...with nothing saved...

Yours reminded me of mine.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy yours.

Oh, I agree whole-heartedly! God wants us to be happy and to prosper! It us we ourselves who usually screw things up by making poor choices! Live and learn as the saying goes!

Be happy and prosper!

That is a darn shame that you had lost all your angel poems on another site. I just read your poem "Whisperings" and it whispered to my own soul and heart! It was deeply touching and beautifully expressed. Perhaps you would consider reposting it?

God bless you and all your angel voices!

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

(giggles) Hehehe, yep yep yep, the softer voice isn't always the less heard voice! (giggles) We angels must listen through the wind to know where we go, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
