A whisper of hope
Fled into the dark silence
On a flight of redemption
In only its faith
Did its path become clear

The last breathe had taken its toll
Suffocating pride in dwindling resources
Gasping for any sign
The mind refused to give up

In a prayer so inspired the earth quaked
In the pain of deep abrasions
Nothing could stand this abuse
But somehow they almost all do

You came into my volatile world
With a gentle outstretched hand
An angel from another world
In your opinions of such good will

In every way the vinegar
Should have fermented so bitter
But somehow your touch created the wine
In a vintage that seen so much hope

In a world turned around
By someone else’s vision
An ugly face, cleaned itself respectable
In soothing caresses the pain healed

In a whisper you were gone
It seems that I could only see you
For the faith you healed me with
Was my own, believing in one’s self

So as I whisper into the darkness now
Saying the positive things about existing
There is now an echo returning
In an angel’s face smiling
