In the deepest recesses of my thoughts alone I listen carefully to the soft tone Of ancient laughter, sobs and cheers The stillness of the 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 chatter takes on the twittering of many birds. But in the darkness, in moonlight soft and quiet The Whisperings present a tumultuous riot. Wondering faintly, is this my conscience speaking Or the sound 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 the 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 throughout My Father's world, and his creations dear. Amen 06.25.99 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I do recall that day - I was quite surprised to find another ray of "Sunshine" among us... and intrigued to learn who was behind such a "special" name.... You've done it justice, Karilea... This is a wonderful poem... as are all of yours..  |

Such a great question presented with such a poetic warmth full of reflections.... I don't know the answer but I know that I like this approach to asking it....just wonderful work Karilea! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
