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 |

Elizabeth, Nan and Christine Thank you for welcoming me to this new outlet for my thoughts. I have many more, some of which I have posted at AngelHaven.com, a truly wonderful place. I enjoy going to areas that are free of the blackness so many seem to enjoy: I hope I can do you all proud with my submissions. Thank you again. |

Sunshine, I like all your photos.The sun always shining on your hair, and your beautiful smile cause you to personify Sunshine. But more,I love your work.This one hit home as I indeed always felt the closeness of past family memers coming to the fore to help and guide me as I go through this unsettled life. best, marty |

Becka, don't know if you'll come back to read this, but this poem was submitted to the main site years ago... and from that, I recently received a very nice letter from a church lady in another state [Missouri] who asked if she could place it in her Church newsletter. You can imagine my pleasure over saying, "yes, surely...thank you". I am glad you found some solace from it, as well. |

I just realized you and I have a poem of similar names, mine is The Whisperlings, I think anyway, but the quality of two are sure different. What a nice entrance poem Karilea, much has not changed. A little bumparoo - because "I can!" |

Sharon, I missed this...I swear. But thank you...and I believe I remember seeing your poem. I think, over time, we have both grown in ways we never expected. Thank you so much, m'friend, for coming back and bumping this, "because" you could! |
