In the deepest recesses of my thoughts alone I listen carefully to the soft tone Of ancient laughter, sobs and cheers The stillness of voices I silently hear. I recognize some of family, mother, father, friend Some make me smile, some I don’t comprehend Even today, after years of remembering what was heard The chattering takes on the twittering of birds. But in the darkness, in moonlight soft and quiet The Whisperings present a tumultuous riot. Wondering faintly, is this my conscience speaking Or sounds of angels’ comments, as they are peeking? I know the Angels are around, I feel them in my heart Whispering quiet and low, soft, never sharp Asking one another if they have guided me right Gently beseeching Him to keep me in his light. All children know their Angels’ Whispers, but forget as they grow That the Angels will watch through all of the times Whether troubled, happy, or seemingly ruined in kind Nevertheless, angels stay and whisper soft hope to the mind. Is it “Conscience” or Angels’ Whispers do you think? Which would cause you more to smile? I’d like to think it is my Father’s voice in the guise of an angel, Taking care of me all the while. So keep Whispering on, my Angels dear And guide me with your thoughts of care Knowing that you trust in me to step kindly through My Father’s world, and his creations dear. Amen {c} Karilea Rilling Jungel June 1999 Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

Whispering sounds from the echoes I hear, My dear friend's voice I so much long to hear, Could make out love and care, loud and clear, Oh, dear angel, please play back the sounds of yesteryears. Echoes of voices of all so dear, Days gone by, memories to my heart, I hold, Bitter snaps of the past, I no longer fear, Oh, dear angel, begin whispering, I will be bold. ......... Karilea, You have penned a marvellous poem here. enjoyed it very much...Thanks for sharing ... Regards, sudhir |

 I love your poetry. Perhaps the Father does not speak to us with only one distinct voice? Perhaps He does use the voices of family, friends, nature, and the heavenly to speak to our hearts. You've got me thinking...Bob <>< |

Sunny That was a very very beautiful poem. And your first post too. And yes you have touched the chords of the dim half forgotten past - fleeting memories which whisper - demanding attention! I have liked this poem very much and I am posting a small quatrain right now which echoes your thoughts! Deepak |
